Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,402
I'm out in the prime cut of the big green.
2
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,323
Behind me is Ed and Rowdy,
3
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,045
members of an up
and coming sub-adult gang.
4
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,441
They're challenging everything including me.
5
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,606
Goes with the territory.
6
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,531
If I show weakness, if I retreat,
7
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,648
I may be hurt, I may be killed.
8
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,207
I must hold my own
if I'm gonna stay within this land.
9
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,330
For once there is weakness they will exploit it,
they will take me out, they will decapitate me,
10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,641
they will chop me into bits and pieces.
11
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,006
I'm dead.
12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,010
But so far I persevere.
13
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,529
Persevere.
14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,607
Most times I'm a kind warrior out here.
15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,526
Most times I am gentle, I am like a flower,
16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,246
I'm like a fly on the wall,
17
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,689
observing, non-committal,
non-invasive in any way.
18
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,481
Occasionally I am challenged,
and in that case the kind warrior
19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,568
must, must, must become a samurai,
20
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,210
must become so...
21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,085
So formidable,
22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,840
so fearless of death, so strong,
23
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,885
that he will win, he will win.
24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,760
Even the bears will believe
that you are more powerful,
25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,569
and in a sense you must be
26
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,531
more powerful if you are to survive
in this land with the bear.
27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,526
No one knew that.
28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,403
No one ever friggin' knew
29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,891
that there are times when my life
is on the precipice of death
30
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,688
and that these bears can bite, they can kill.
31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,041
And if I am weak I go down.
32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,242
I love them with all my heart,
I will protect them,
33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,803
I will die for them,
but I will not die at their claws and paws.
34
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,685
I will fight, I will be strong.
I'll be one of them.
35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,091
I will be the master.
36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,649
But still a kind warrior.
37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,890
Love you, Rowdy.
38
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,241
Give it to me, baby.
39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,488
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
40
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,971
That's what I'm talking about.
41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,242
I can smell death
all over my fingers.
42
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,808
Herzog All these majestic
creatures were filmed by Timothy Treadwei!
43
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,970
who lived among wild grizz/Ies
for 13 summers.
44
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,121
He went to remote areas
of the Alaskan peninsula
45
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,370
believing that he was needed there
to protect these animate
46
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,442
and educate the public.
47
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,484
During his fast five years out there,
48
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,600
he took along a video camera
and shot over 100 hours of footage.
49
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,290
What Treadwett intended was to show
these bears in their natural habitat,.
50
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,767
Having myself filmed
in the wilderness of jungles,
51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,411
I found that beyond a wildlife film,
52
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,010
in his material lay dormant a story
of astonishing beauty and depth.
53
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,526
1 discovered a film of human ecstasies
and darkest inner turmoil.
54
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,801
As I? there was a desire in him
55
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,370
to leave the confinements of his
humanness and bond with the bears,
56
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,121
Treadwefl reached out
seeking a primordial encounter.
57
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,047
But in doing so he crossed
an invisible borderline.
58
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,490
Go back and play.
59
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,490
Go back. Go back.
60
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,447
Go back.
61
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,409
This is a sub-adult,
and this is what happens to them.
62
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,006
They work together
and they get really powerful.
63
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,411
As you see, I'm just feet away.
64
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,249
65
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,605
He's now moving away from me.
66
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,290
I have now proven myself
67
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,961
as being able to hold my ground
and therefore earning their respect.
68
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,089
This is Rowdy the bear, and he's rowdy.
69
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,441
He's getting bigger and...
70
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,282
Knew him from he was a little,
little dot a couple years ago.
71
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,284
He's getting to be a big boy.
Anyway, we're doing just fine.
72
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,922
But that was a challenge,
73
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,440
and you have to remain cool
in the challenge, in the moment.
74
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,522
If you don't, you're dead.
75
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,489
They can kill, they can bite.
76
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,324
They can decapitate.
77
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,000
Excuse me.
78
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,161
Hey-
79
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,007
Hey!
80
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,165
It's OK. It's OK, ifs OK.
81
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,325
I didn't mean to get in your way.
82
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:31,841
Wow.
83
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,723
It's OK. You're the boss.
84
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,321
Nice job.
85
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,851
Wow, nice job.
86
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,726
I kind of think he was over
10 feet high, don't you?
87
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,211
Whoo, he's a big bear.
88
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:44,770
He's a big bear.
89
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,171
A very big bear.
90
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,361
Wow.
91
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,165
Huh. Anyway,
he was over here rub-a-dub-dubbing.
92
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,005
He's a big bear!
93
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,291
The excitement Treadwell felt
connected him immediately with children.
94
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,204
In his campaign to create awareness
95
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,289
he reached thousands
and thousands of school children
96
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,931
who would remember his
fabulous story telling
97
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,368
as one of the highlights of their school years.
98
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,241
He took his mission so seriously
that he never solicited for a fee.
99
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,565
Over time, he reached the status
of a national celebrity.
100
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,362
Man} Timothy Treadwefl
is crazy about grizzly bears.
101
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,562
How crazy? Sometimes.“...
102
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,248
It was as if he had become a star
by virtue of his own invention.
103
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,722
I would be within
the physical presence of bears
104
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,246
24 hours a day for months at a time.
105
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,002
This is crazy.
106
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,411
This is nuts.
107
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,966
These are the most dangerous animals
on the face of the earth.
108
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,770
And you want to go and put yourself
in harm's way 24 hours a day.
109
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,163
I think they've been misunderstood.
110
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,687
How can I believe that if you
are about to be killed by a bear
111
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,651
that you wouldn't say,
"Oh, I made a mistake. I'd like to have a gun."
112
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,769
I would never ever kill a bear
in the defence of my own life.
113
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,764
I would not go into a bear's home
and kill a bear.
114
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,128
One day,
115
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,369
I came home and I was sitting on my patio,
116
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,331
and my wife was
in the bedroom with the TV on.
117
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,489
And I heard her scream.
118
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,884
And I thought she'd fallen or something,
119
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,804
and I came in and she was
120
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,884
sitting on the edge of the bed
staring at the television.
121
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,566
And I looked at the television,
122
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,449
and I saw Timmy's face.
123
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,602
And I hadn't heard the sound or the news yet,
but I knew just by seeing Timmy's face on TV
124
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,850
and hearing my wife's reaction
that the worst had happened.
125
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,650
Not necessarily a surprise,
126
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,486
but the worst.
127
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,606
1 never have days when I grieve for Timmy
as 1 have with other friends who have died.
128
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,323
They feel dead.
129
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,368
Timmy doesn't feel dead.
130
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,080
This is the last photo
of Timothy Treadwe/I.
131
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,369
It was taken at the beginning
of his thirteenth summer
132
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,727
in the wilds of Alaska.
133
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,124
With him is Amie Huguenard
who would die by his side.
134
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,331
The man who took the photo
was VVi/Iy Fulton,
135
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,126
a close friend of Timothy's
and the pilot who would bring him
136
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,164
to this remote pan of the Alaskan peninsula.
137
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,361
Treadwe/I saw himself
as the guardian of this land
138
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,370
and stylised himself as Prince Valiant,
139
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,764
fighting the bad guys with their schemes
to do harm to the bears.
140
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,565
But all this land
is a federally protected reserve,
141
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,881
part of Katmai National Park.
142
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,724
This big plain Treadwell called the Sanctuary.
143
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,721
Here he would spend
the early summer months
144
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,610
before moving along some 35 miles
145
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:25,004
to this densely overgrown area
which he cal/ed the Grizzly Maze,
146
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,890
where he would observe
the late summer salmon run.
147
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,402
It was here that Fulton
would pick him up in the fall.
148
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,010
On October 6th last year,
this is the spot here
149
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,084
at Kaflia Lake where
I pulled in to pick up Tim and Amie.
150
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,765
A typical day out here, rain, foggy,
a lot of wind and...
151
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,241
fl was kind of stranger.
152
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,089
Didn't see him, didn't hear anything.
153
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,361
There's no gear on the beach
or anything, you know,
154
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,842
so I tied up and I started yelling a little bit.
155
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,844
Tim, you know, Amie and,
156
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,289
no answer, and I caught
a little tiny bit of movement up on the hills.
157
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,129
So, I'm like, well, you know, it was windy,
158
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,924
maybe they just couldn't hear me
or something,
159
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,049
so I decided I'd go up in the camp,
160
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,126
you know, and see what was going on,
and headed off up through the alders.
161
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,007
It's kind of a thick trail up
into camp there, and...
162
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,049
Got about three-quarters of the way up the hill
163
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,202
and something just
didn't feel right at all, you know?
164
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,521
Something was, something seemed strange.
165
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,284
And I'm yelling and no answer or anything,
166
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,484
so I turned around and started
coming back down the trail,
167
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,681
a pretty good clip I guess.
168
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,003
I was kind of trotting along,
169
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,209
and as I got in the thickest part
of the alders right here...
170
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,644
As I got near the aeroplane
I just happened to turn around,
171
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,644
and I turned around and looked, and...
172
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,529
Pretty nasty-looking bear
that I had seen here before
173
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,809
is just sneaking slow with his head down,
174
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,529
just the meanest looking thing, you know,
coming through the brush.
175
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,329
And so I jumped on the aeroplane real quick
176
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,330
and untied it and took off,
turned around, flew over,
177
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,330
over camp there, and...
178
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,926
Just looked down and saw a human rib cage,
179
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,561
you know, that I knew had to be either
Tim or Amie laying there,
180
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,644
and, he was just eating that,
181
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,011
and as I...
182
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,287
So I circled around again, got really low
183
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,603
and tried to run him off just over
and over again with the aeroplane.
184
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,330
And every time I would come over,
185
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,489
he'd just start eating faster and faster
and crouch over this,
186
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,571
this rib cage there, and,
187
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,360
and, right at that time I...
188
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,042
I just realised, "Wow," you know,
189
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,329
I was pretty close to getting eaten myself,
is what I thought,
190
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,170
and this shot of adrenalin like I've never had
191
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,727
just came over me and my throat went,
192
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,964
couldn't breathe, my face went numb,
my arms and legs went numb,
193
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:04,444
and then I called back to the office
194
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,124
and told them what happened out here,
195
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,846
what I thought had happened
and that we would need
196
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,570
some assistance out here,
that we had some problems.
197
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,447
After the park service arrived,
198
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,648
then I'm leading them up
through the alders here.
199
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,564
This is the same trail
that I'd come up the first time,
200
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,207
and we got to about right here
and we just stopped, you know,
201
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,607
and we stopped just to take a look around
202
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,566
and right then one guy
with us just yells, "Bear!"
203
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,445
And they all spin around,
204
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,562
these gun barrels come over
the top of my head,
205
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,250
and, boy, they just start firing it off,
206
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,169
and I ducked down
cos they hadn't given me a gun.
207
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,971
I'd look up and then they fire
over and over again,
208
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,924
and then I look up when they're done firing
209
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,008
and there's just a cloud of smoke here,
you know,
210
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,482
and I look over
and the bear is laying right there.
211
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,166
They're yelling at me,
“Just don't go near the bear."
212
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,401
And I knew he was dead.
213
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,321
He'd been shot in the head
and the neck and everywhere,
214
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,086
and he was just laying here
pretty much lifeless
215
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,805
and this is right where...
216
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,491
Where the bear...
And I told them at the time,
217
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,449
I said this is the bear that killed Tim.
218
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,367
I knew cos that was the same bear
that I had seen down here looking at me,
219
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,240
right through the alder bushes there,
so I knew this was the bear.
220
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,810
I said, "Yep, that'll be the one," you know,
221
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,364
and that wound up being the bear that
they found Tim in.
222
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,329
I'm here on camera with Ollie the big old bear,
and the big old grumpy bear.
223
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,485
He just took Cracker out of the creek area.
224
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,449
There's not a lot of fish here,
225
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,165
so you could understand him wanting
to have control of the creek,
226
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,329
but he's acting like an alpha male here,
227
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,091
which I guess, for the fact that
he is the only male here,
228
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,400
he is the alpha male.
229
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,245
At any rate, he's also, he's a surly bear.
230
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,531
I met him on the path the other day
after feeling sorry for him, thinking that he
231
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,364
was a bit thin, a bit gaunt.
232
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,405
And he promptly charged me
with the intent to probably strike.
233
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,687
I know the language of the bear.
234
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,843
I was able to deter him
from doing that, and I'm fine.
235
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,571
But I will tell you something,
236
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,884
it is the old bear,
one who is struggling for survival,
237
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,601
and an aggressive one at that,
238
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,001
who's the one that you must
be very careful of,
239
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:29,525
for these are the bears that on occasion
do, for survival, kill and eat humans.
240
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,286
Could Ollie the big old bear
possibly kill and eat Timothy Treadwell?
241
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,044
What do you think, Ollie?
242
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,043
I think if you were weak around him,
243
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,203
you're going down his gullet,
going down the pipe.
244
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,642
Right up top of the hill here
is where we found
245
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,042
what was left of Tim's body,
his head and a little bit of backbone
246
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,889
attached, then we found...
247
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,329
A hand, arm, wristwatch still on the arm.
248
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,121
I remember the watch and,
shoot, I can remember the watch,
249
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,929
and here's a guy that,
250
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,726
used to dive in the lake down here naked
to scare the aeroplanes away
251
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,849
and here now I'm finding his watch
and arm on top of the hill.
252
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,481
And then here's about all that's left
of the bear that killed him.
253
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,928
A few pieces of rib bone.
254
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,247
This bear was shot
255
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,609
and drug off and eaten
by other bears here, right in this area.
256
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,365
The tough thing out of all this
is Tim would have never wanted
257
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,441
to see any bears killed.
258
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,845
Even if they had killed him,
he would have been happy if
259
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,241
nobody found him,
nobody found any remains,
260
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,521
nobody found his camp or anything.
261
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,080
He would have been perfectly content.
262
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,603
He definitely lived on the edge,
you know, but he...
263
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,686
He was a little smarter than
everyone gave him credit for.
264
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,161
He made it out here a long time
before they caught up with him,
265
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,561
and actually the bear that wound up
killing him was a...
266
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,809
Just a dirty, rotten bear that he
didn't like anyway, you know,
267
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,446
and he wanted to be friends
with but never happened.
268
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,687
I want to introduce you to one of the key role
players in this year's expedition.
269
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,285
The bear's name is the Grinch.
270
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,089
The Grinch has come onto be one of the more
frequent bears here in the Grizzly Maze.
271
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,408
The Grinch is a female
of about five years of age.
272
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,247
Oh, hi, Grinch. Hi.
273
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,243
And she has kind of an aggressive attitude.
274
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,807
Hi.
275
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,170
If I turn around too much she'll bite me.
276
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,083
It's OK. Hi, how are you?
277
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,525
How are you?
278
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,849
Don't you do that.
279
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,325
Don't you do that!
280
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,971
Back off.
281
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:50,566
Don't do it.
282
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,642
It's OK. I love you.
283
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,082
I love you. I love you. I love you.
284
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,924
I love you. I'm sorry.
285
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,120
I'm Sam Egli.
286
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,205
I was called out as a helicopter pilot to assist
287
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,968
on the clean-up
after the Treadwell tragedy of last winter.
288
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,003
I was in there the morning
the fish and game officers were there
289
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,807
examining the bear that had done the killing.
290
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,241
The bear was all cut open,
it was full of people, it was full of clothing.
291
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,563
It was, we hauled away four garbage bags
292
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,565
of people out of that bear.
293
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,721
Um...
294
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Treadwell was, I think, meaning well,
trying to do things
295
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,561
to help the resource of the bears,
296
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,565
but to me he was acting like...
297
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:54,568
Like he was working with people wearing
bear costumes out there
298
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,409
instead of wild animals.
299
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,761
Those bears are big and ferocious, and they
come equipped to kill you and eat you
300
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,129
and that's just what Treadwell was asking for.
301
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,604
He got what he was asking for,
he got what he deserved in my opinion.
302
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,441
The tragedy of it was taking the girl with him.
303
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:26,606
I think the only reason that Treadwell lasted
as long in the game as he did
304
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,090
was that the bears probably thought
there was something wrong with him,
305
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:35,283
like he was mentally retarded or something.
306
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,001
Um...
307
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,044
That bear I think that day decided
308
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:47,251
that he had either had enough
of Tim Treadwell
309
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,251
or that something clicked in that bear's head
310
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,487
that he thought,
"Hey, you know, he might be good to eat."
311
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,726
My opinion,
t think Treadweh thought these bears
312
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,328
were big, scary-looking, harmless creatures
that he could go up and pat
313
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,283
and sing to and they would...
314
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,321
Look at that little bear.
315
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,122
...bond as children
of the universe or some odd.
316
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,007
I think he had lost sight
of what was really going on.
317
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,126
He wanted
to become like the bear.
318
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,721
Perhaps it was religious,
but not in the true sense of religion.
319
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:43,045
I think perhaps he wanted to mutate
into a wild animal
320
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:45,361
as he says in this last letter.
321
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,209
He says, "I have to mutually mutate into a wild
animal to handle the life I live out here."
322
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,323
And I think there's a religious sense in that,
323
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:58,888
in the sense of connecting so deeply
that you're no longer human.
324
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,651
And that is a religious experience.
325
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,246
Here's another example.
326
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,281
"There are many times that I feel death
is the best option.
327
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:12,569
“My work would be much more
seriously looked at
328
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,286
"and possibly make the difference
that, in living, I can't do."
329
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,648
And I think that was sort of a paradox for him,
330
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,328
that he felt not worthy enough
to get his message across at times,
331
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,724
and so maybe in the drama of death
his message would be more poignant
332
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,564
and reach out to more people.
333
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,449
But his message
stirred a lot of controversy.
334
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,002
The Gaedes' have collected
thousands of angry letters.
335
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,482
I can read you some of...
336
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,360
I picked out three of these,
vitriolic hate mails.
337
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,971
They cover the gamut.
338
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,087
"Stereotypical environmentalist.
339
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:54,441
"Just as long as the donations keep coming,
340
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,963
"furthering the anti-human eco religion
as a noble cause.
341
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,122
“Who cares about reality?"
342
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,367
And the very idea
that Timothy made a lot of money
343
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,488
doing what he did
is absolutely preposterous,
344
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,767
cos he's one of the poorest people we knew.
345
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,683
Another one.
346
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,290
"A bear diet consists of liberals and dems..."
Meaning democrats.
347
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:24,206
"A bear diet consists of liberals and dems
and whacko environmentalists
348
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,126
"that think the spotted owl
is the most important thing in the world.
349
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,569
"We need to somehow drastically increase
the number of bears in America,
350
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,645
"especially in such key spots
as the Berkley campus."
351
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,124
I too would like to
step in here in his defence,
352
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,443
not as an ecologist, but as a filmmaker.
353
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,802
He captured such glorious
improvised moments,
354
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,966
the likes of which the studio directors
with their union crews can never dream of.
355
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,401
OK.
356
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,045
What are you doing up there?
That's where you're sitting?
357
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,330
There. Come.
358
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,691
Go.
359
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,767
Come.
360
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,727
Come.
361
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,170
Come on, come on.
362
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,246
Come on.
363
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,845
Come on home.
364
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,120
Come on.
365
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,731
Hi.
366
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,524
Hey, you little champion.
367
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:13,407
Hi.
368
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,411
How are you? You're such a good champion.
369
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,246
370
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,163
Now get up there and guard that tent.
371
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,208
Well, I'm here with one my favourite bears,
it's Mr Chocolate.
372
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,685
Hi, Mr Chocolate.
373
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,321
He is the star
of many people across the country,
374
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,291
children, people, adults,
and we're here in the Grizzly Sanctuary,
375
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,250
but I'm wrapping up my work here
in the Grizzly Sanctuary. Why is that?
376
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,922
Because I'm on my way to the Grizzly Maze
where bears do not have human protection,
377
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,604
but are under human threat.
378
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,765
Bears like Aunt Melissa, bears like Demon,
Hatchet, Downey and Tabitha,
379
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,763
and it's time for me to go to protect them.
380
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,524
I wish I could bring Mr Chocolate with me.
381
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,762
You'd be great protection there.
382
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,531
He's been with me for over a decade,
and he's been my good friend,
383
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,126
and I really appreciate it.
Thank you, Mr Chocolate.
384
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,400
I'll see you again next year.
385
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,602
No, I'll see him again at expedition.
386
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,247
End of this expedition.
I'll be back here to join you again.
387
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,361
Back with Mr Chocolate.
388
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,207
But first, it's off to the exciting
and often dangerous Grizzly Maze.
389
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,165
Hence) Now the scene seems to be over,
390
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,245
but as a filmmaker,
sometimes things fall into your lap
391
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,329
which you couldn't expect,
never even dream of.
392
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,561
Hi, Spirit.
393
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,406
There is something
like an inexplicable magic of cinema.
394
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,846
Hi, Spirit.
395
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,362
Well, I'm here with...
396
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,048
With Mr Chocolate and Spirit the fox,
and here comes some of her pups, yay.
397
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,650
Comes some of her pups.
398
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,087
Hi.
399
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,001
Hi.
400
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,766
Hi, Spirit.
401
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,442
Hi, Spirit. Hello, baby.
402
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,925
Coming down.
403
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:15,805
What are you doing to that hat?
404
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:18,725
Where's that hat going?
405
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,644
Hey, whds stealing that hat?
406
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,890
Let me see that hat.
407
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,570
Ghost, I want that hat.
408
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,883
Oh, man. Ghost is bad.
409
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,763
Ghost, what are you doing with that hat?
410
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,046
Ghost, that hat is a very important hat.
411
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:54,565
Drop it. Hey!
412
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,007
Oh, goddammit.
413
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,721
I can't believe this.
414
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,481
Ghost!
415
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:06,202
Ghost, where's that fucking hat?
416
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,369
That hat is so friggin' valuable for this trip.
417
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,286
Ghost, you come back here
with that friggin' hat!
418
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,680
If it's in the den I'm gonna fucking explode.
419
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,924
Ghost, where's that hat?
420
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,402
It's not OK for you to steal it.
421
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,765
Oh, man.
422
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,285
Oh, man.
423
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,964
It's a friggin' den.
424
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,560
One of the things
that I've heard about Mr Treadwell
425
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,443
and you can see in a lot of his films
426
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,563
is that he tended to want to become a bear.
427
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,685
Some people that I've spoken with
would encounter him in the field,
428
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,046
and he would act like a bear.
429
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,844
He would woof at them, he would...
430
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,129
He would act in the same way a bear would
when they were surprised.
431
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,481
Why he did this is only known to him.
432
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,369
No one really knows for sure.
433
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,240
But when you spend a lot of time with bears,
especially when you're in the field with them
434
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,762
day after day, there's a siren song,
there's a calling
435
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,610
that makes you wanna come in
and spend more time in the world.
436
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,688
Because it is a simpler world.
437
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,049
It is a wonderful thing,
but in fact it's a harsh world.
438
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:13,124
It's a different world
that bears live in than we do.
439
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,851
So there's that desire to get into their world,
440
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,402
but the reality is we never can because we're
very different than they are.
441
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,166
The line between bear and human
442
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,331
has apparently always been respected
by the native communities of Alaska.
443
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,681
We visited the curator
of Kodiak's Alutiiq Museum,
444
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,163
which had recently been raided by
tourists out of control.
445
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,883
Somebody wanted it
so much they cut the paw off.
446
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:04,488
They stole it from here,
so it was quite tragic for us
447
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,163
because, you know, ifs on loan
and they came in and took it.
448
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,361
Mmm-hmm.
449
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,404
And how do you see
Timothy Treadwelfs story?
450
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,206
I see it as something that's both...
451
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,204
It's tragic because, yeah, he died
452
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,529
and his girlfriend died, because,
you know, he tried to be a bear.
453
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,685
He tried to act like a bear,
and for us on the island you don't do that.
454
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,644
You don't invade on their territory.
455
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,691
You, when you're in their territory
you know you're there,
456
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,284
and when you're nearby you make sure
that they know you're around.
457
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,600
Um...
458
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:51,810
You know, for him to act like a bear
the way he did would be,
459
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,842
I don't know, to me it was the ultimate of
disrespecting the bear
460
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,769
and what the bear represents.
461
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,083
But he tried to protect the bears, didn't he?
462
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,768
I think he did more damage
to the bears than he did...
463
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,562
Because when you habituate bears
to humans they think all humans are safe.
464
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,286
Where I grew up
the bears avoid us and we avoid them.
465
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,249
They're not habituated to us.
466
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,211
If I look at it from my culture,
467
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,565
Timothy Treadwefl crossed the boundary
that we have lived with for 7,000 years.
468
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,648
R's an unspoken boundary,
an unknown boundary,
469
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,725
but when we know we've crossed it,
we pay the price.
470
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,089
Jewel, I apologise that this wrist watch
is still in an evidence bag,
471
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,931
however, I want you to have this watch.
472
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,089
I think that it is important that you have it.
473
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,404
You knew Timothy for a longtime.
474
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,324
My understanding is that you lived together
for three years,
475
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,323
you were very close to him.
476
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,761
Yeah, he was my boyfriend for three years,
he was my boss,
477
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,242
he was, he was a lot of things
to me in 20 years.
478
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,291
Yeah, I understand that,
and that's the reason I want you to have this.
479
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,800
This really should be yours.
480
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,002
This watch is still running.
481
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,161
Oh, wow.
482
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,125
It has been running continuously
since the time that I received it.
483
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,243
This was taken off Timothy's wrist.
484
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,490
Wow, there it is.
485
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,843
Oh, it's still running. I can't even believe it.
486
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,451
I can't believe it. I'm gonna wear it.
487
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,530
And I'm gonna remember him.
488
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,688
And I'm gonna remember Arnie.
489
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,281
Can you speak about Amie?
490
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,368
Amie was brave and Amie was strong.
491
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,644
Amie was my friend
and she was Timothy's friend.
492
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,408
She was his girlfriend,
but most important she was his friend,
493
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,086
and I believe that
I'm gonna honour their choice.
494
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,722
I'm always gonna respect them for what they
did and for how they did it and for...
495
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,849
For being out there and for protecting bears
496
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,727
and living in wild nature and living,
living their life to the fullest.
497
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,729
They truly died doing what they lived for.
498
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,604
Representing Timothy.
499
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,283
- And then I'll fill in the rest. That's...
- OK.
500
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,044
-...the specific number, so.
- So there it is.
501
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,570
- So there it is.
- Circle. Full circle.
502
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,727
- Yeah. Full circle.
-I've got it all.
503
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,205
- Yeah.
504
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,402
Hopefully it will continue to run a long time.
505
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,044
- I think it will.
506
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,646
Hmm.
507
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,082
The last thing that's left.
508
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,530
Thanks, Franc.
509
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,682
Jewel Palovak.
510
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,088
You were very close to Timothy Treadwell.
511
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,964
Do you sometimes feel like his widow?
512
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,810
Ha! Do I feel like his widow?
513
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,321
Um...
514
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,846
Yeah, you know, in some ways I do.
515
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,924
I feel like his widow because
516
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,522
everything that he had,
everything that he worked for...
517
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,808
ls... He left to me.
518
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,366
I was his girlfriend, I was his employee.
519
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,604
I was the person that figured
all the last minute details out.
520
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,804
You also founded
a foundation with him?
521
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,008
Yup, we did. We founded Grizzly People
522
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,931
whose mission is to protect
and preserve habitat worldwide.
523
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,850
For Treadwe/I,
who had a natural tendency towards chaos,
524
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,481
Grizzly People served
as his organised platform,
525
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,321
and Jewel was his most trusted co-combatant.
526
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,730
I met him in a restaurant.
527
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,725
We both worked at lhls place called Gulliver's,
and it was a prime rib restaurant.
528
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,529
It was huge and theatrical.
529
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,925
Well, Timothy was a squire,
530
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,004
cos it was set in the time,
it was based on Gulliver's Travels,
531
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:48,366
and he had a chintzy felt hat
and a cheap, plastic apron and some knickers,
532
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,091
and that blonde hairjust sticking out.
533
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,006
And me, I would be your English
serving wench for the evening.
534
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,247
You had to toss the salad with aplomb,
535
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,483
and you had to boil the soup
and serve it to the people.
536
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,560
And I had seen Timothy, and he was kind of
fun, and I didn't really know who he was.
537
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,728
And one night
I just wasn't in the best of moods.
538
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,882
I had a huge table, a family of people
539
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,931
that wanted me to make it the best dining
experience of their life.
540
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,766
Do it up big, make the soup big,
you know, use the vernacular.
541
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,561
You know, there was grandmas and babies
and hairdos and coats,
542
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,886
and so I thought, you know what?
I'll make it. I'll make it big for ya.
543
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,447
I'll make it really big.
You'll never forget this birthday.
544
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,683
So one of the parts was
you'd lake the soup can
545
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:36,441
and you'd light it up with this gas so that
the soup was bubbling and boiling.
546
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,683
You could smell the deliciousness, and
547
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,330
I decided to make it really big,
548
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:47,043
so I trailed a little bit extra of the lighter
fluid around the polyester cloth,
549
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,768
and I kind of miscalculated
because the soup exploded,
550
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,690
the people screamed,
the fire went everywhere,
551
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,321
so I was called into the office
in the next couple days.
552
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,803
And who do I see when I sit down
in the office waiting like you're,
553
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,611
you're in the jail
or you're in the principal's office,
554
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,449
I see Timothy Treadwell.
555
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,404
I was like, hey, how are you?
I know I've seen you, I'm Jewel.
556
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,851
He said, "I'm Tim."
557
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,285
And I said what are you in for?
558
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,011
And he said, "Oh, I'm in for walking funny
in the dining room.“
559
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,765
He said, “what did you do?", and I said,
"Ah, I lit the soup can on fire.“
560
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,285
And he said, "That was you?"
561
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,409
And, you know,
it wasn't love at first sight,
562
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,647
but ii was certainly kindred spirits.
563
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,326
Only Timmy is the boss
of all foxes and all bears.
564
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,970
You're the ruler.
565
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,848
Hey, thanks for being my friend.
566
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,009
Does that feel good? Yeah?
567
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,646
We patrol the Grizzly Sanctuary together.
How did we meet?
568
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,489
Over a decade ago.
569
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,326
He left his mother and father's side, promptly
peed on my shoes, pooped on my clothes.
570
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,443
That was it.
He was my friend, Timmy the fox, yup.
571
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,484
And we watch over things, and he's the boss.
572
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,324
Takes care of everything.
573
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,328
Yup, YUP'
574
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,004
I think one of the things
that's really important is,
575
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,809
as you can see the bond that
576
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,529
has developed between this very wild animal
and this very... Fairly wild person.
577
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,690
And you realise he has this gorgeous fur,
and people are trying to kill him for it,
578
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,969
with steel jaw traps
and cruel farming practices.
579
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,925
And other people run 'em down on horses
for sport, fox hunting.
580
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,843
We want this to end.
581
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,685
Between Timmy the fox,
this beautiful fox and me,
582
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:36,847
we ask the public, please, stop killing
and hurting these foxes and torturing them.
583
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,689
- Don't you think?
- Yeah.
584
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,685
If they knew how beautiful he was and
how sweet he was they would never hurt him.
585
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,926
Thanks, king.
586
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,050
Timothy used his camera as a tool
to get his message across.
587
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,090
Sometimes his approach was very Mayfair.
588
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,051
Do another take here. I fucked up
the last one, I almost just fell off the cliff.
589
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,043
I'm a fucking asshole.
590
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,690
Behind me is the Grizzly Sanctuary,
591
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:05,203
and also behind me hidden down below in
those trees somewhere is my camp.
592
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,450
I must stay incognito,
593
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,809
I must hide from the authorities,
I must hide from people who would harm me.
594
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,723
I must now even hide from people
595
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,764
that seek me out because
I've made some sort of...
596
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,442
I don't wanna say celebrity, but,
597
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,410
they come here to Alaska
and they hear about Treadwell in the bush
598
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,369
and they wanna go find him.
599
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,801
But they can't. I'm hidden down below.
600
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,167
No one knows where I am.
Even I don't even know where I am.
601
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,971
That was pretty shitty.
602
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,323
Let's do one really short take here.
603
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,088
But as a filmmaker
he was methodical...
604
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,241
Whatever.
605
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,448
Often repeating takes 15 times.
606
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,602
Do one more really short,
excellent take.
607
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,480
Lets just really sum it up. Here we go.
This is gonna be the motherfucker.
608
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,805
Behind me is the Grizzly Sanctuary,
and also hidden down below is my camp,
609
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,247
for I must now remain hidden
from the authorities,
610
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,205
from people who would harm me,
from people who'd seek me out as a story.
611
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,726
My future helping the animals depends on it.
612
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,286
I must be a spirit in the wilderness.
613
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,570
With himself as the central character,
614
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,001
he began to craft his own movie,
615
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,289
something way beyond a wildlife film.
616
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,128
There is going to be
a number of takes I'm gonna do,
617
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,322
and these are called
"Wild Timmy Jungle Scenes."
618
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,368
We're gonna do several takes of each
619
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,041
where I'll do it with a bandana on,
maybe a bandana off.
620
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,043
Maybe two different coloured bandanas.
621
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,681
Some without a bandana,
some with the camera being held.
622
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,607
I kind of stumbled on that one.
Let's do it again.
623
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,523
So the basic deal is too, that this stuff
could be cut into a show later on,
624
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,640
but who knows what look I had, whether I
had the black bandana or no bandana.
625
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,803
Very rarely the camo one,
but I like the camo look.
626
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,765
Both cameras rolling,
both cameras rolling, both cameras rolling.
627
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,004
Sexy green bandana,
last take of the evening.
628
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,166
I'm on my way to the front creek.
629
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,771
I need to get water
and there's a super duper low tide.
630
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,365
Full moon tonight.
631
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,606
And action.
632
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,728
In his action movie mode,
633
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,848
Treadwell probably did not realise
634
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,930
that seemingly empty moments
had a strange, secret beauty.
635
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,730
Sometimes images themselves
developed their own life,
636
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,087
their own mysterious stardom.
637
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,928
Starsky & Hutch, over.
638
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,606
(Hetzogj Beyond his posings,
the camera was his omnipresent companion.
639
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,047
It was his instrument to explore
the wilderness around him,
640
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,681
but increasingly it became something more.
641
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,563
He started to scrutinize his kmermost being,
642
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,723
his demons, his exhilarations.
643
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,081
Facing the Sens of a camera
took on the quality of a confessional.
644
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,249
Covering various years, the fol/owing
samples illustrate this search for himself.
645
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,968
If there... I have no idea if there's a God,
646
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,647
but if there's a God,
God would be very, very pleased with me.
647
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:30,361
If He could just watch me here, how much
I love them, how much I adore them,
648
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,365
how respectful I am to them,
how I am one of them,
649
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,206
and how the studies they give me,
the photographs, the video
650
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,205
and take that around for no charge
to people around the world.
651
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,369
It's good work. I feel good about it.
652
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,283
I feel good about myself doing it,
653
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,766
and I wanna continue, and I hope I can.
654
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,609
I really hope I can.
655
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,968
But if not, be warned,
656
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,164
I will die for these animals. I will die for these
animals. I will die for these animals.
657
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:01,288
Thank you so much for letting me do this.
658
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,445
Thank you so much for these animals,
for giving me a life.
659
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,284
I had no life.
660
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,845
Now I have a life.
661
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,650
Now, enough of that.
662
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,323
Now, let the expedition continue.
663
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,728
It's off to Timmy the Fox.
We've gotta find Banjo. He's missing!
664
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,610
And that's my story here,
for me, Timothy Treadwell,
665
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,165
the kind warrior.
666
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,566
Can I take it?
667
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,843
I'm trying.
668
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,325
OK, yeah, I can do it.
669
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,646
Yeah, why not? Why not?
670
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,369
I've crossed the halfway point.
671
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,209
The government's given me
all they have, so far.
672
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,325
I've stood up to it.
673
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,601
I've had danger in the boat, almost died,
I've almost fallen off a cliff.
674
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,091
Yeah.
675
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,324
The danger factor's
about to amp up in the Maze.
676
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,089
The Maze is always the most dangerous.
677
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,411
Lord, I do not want to be hurt by a bear.
678
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,448
I do not.
679
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,241
I always cannot understand why girls don't
wanna be with me
680
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,130
for a long lime because I have
really a nice personality.
681
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,921
I'm fun. I'm very, very good in the,
well I...
682
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,004
You're not supposed to say that
when you're a guy, but I know I am.
683
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,929
They know I am.
684
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,889
And...
685
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,641
Um...
686
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,329
I don't fight with them. I'm so passive.
687
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,530
Bit of a patsy,
688
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,131
which, is that a turn-off to girls,
to be a patsy?
689
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,690
I mean, it's not...
690
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,200
It's not that I'm a total great guy.
691
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,290
I'm a lot of fun and a good life going.
692
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,930
I don't know what's going on.
693
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,086
I always wished I was gay.
Would've been a lot easier.
694
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,165
You know, you can just bing-bing-bing.
Gay guys have no problem.
695
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:56,450
I mean, they go to restrooms and truck stops
and they perform sex.
696
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,286
It's like so easy for 'em and stuff,
but you know what?
697
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,204
Alas, Timothy Treadwell's not gay, bummer.
698
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,485
I love girls.
699
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,610
And girls...
700
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,726
Girls need a lot more.
Need a lot more, you know,
701
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,448
finesse and care and I like that a bit,
702
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,440
but when it goes down bad
and you're alone it's like,
703
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,646
well...
704
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,284
You know, you can't rebound
like you can if you were gay.
705
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,770
I'm sure gay people have problems too,
706
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,044
but not as much as one goofy straight guy
named, Timothy Treadwell.
707
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:36,804
Anyway, that's my story.
708
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,090
That's my story.
709
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:41,805
I love you.
710
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,609
Look at you.
711
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,404
You're the best little fox.
712
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,806
But how did I...
How did I come into this work, Iris?
713
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,848
Did you ever... Did you ever get the story?
714
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,771
I was troubled. I was troubled.
715
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,290
I drank a lot, did you know that?
716
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,204
Iris, you wouldn't even know
what that is, but...
717
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,363
I used to drink to the point of,
718
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,321
that I guess I was either gonna die from it
or break free of it.
719
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:11,327
But nothing, nothing Iris,
could get me to stop drinking, nothing.
720
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,006
I went to programs, I tried quitting myself,
721
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,806
I did everything that I could
to try not to drink,
722
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,651
and then I did everything I could to drink.
723
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:26,329
And it was killing me,
until I discovered this land of bears,
724
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,603
and I realised that they were in such,
such great danger
725
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,082
that they needed a caretaker,
they needed someone to look after them,
726
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,209
but not a drunk person,
not a person messed up.
727
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,887
So I promised the bears the!
If I would look over them,
728
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,090
would they please help me be a better person.
729
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,484
And they become so inspirational,
730
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,524
and living with the foxes too, that I did.
731
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,807
I gave up the drinking. It was a miracle.
732
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,842
It was an absolute miracle,
and the miracle was animals.
733
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,848
The miracle was animals.
734
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,523
I live, I live here.
735
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,171
It's very dangerous. It's really dangerous.
736
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,124
I run wild with the bears.
I run so wild, so free,
737
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,046
so like a child with these animals.
738
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,761
It's really cool, and it's very serious.
739
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,643
I'm here alone,
and when you're here all alone you,
740
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:23,882
you do get you get lonely.
741
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,082
Well, duh, right, you get pretty lonely.
742
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:35,486
Oh, no, I'm gonna do all this stuff just
because I'm supposed to be alone.
743
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,085
Oh, OK.
744
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,968
Pan.' of the mythical character
Treadwell was transforming himself into
745
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,090
required him to be seen
as being completely alone.
746
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,411
He was mostly alone,
747
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,769
but he did spend time with women
who will here remain anonymous.
748
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,767
The truth is that Amie Huguenard
749
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,407
accompanied him
for pans of his last two summers.
750
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,683
A fact which was out of step
with his stylisation
751
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,684
as the lone guardian of the grizzlies.
752
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,287
It's July 26th, and I've been dropped off
all alone again here in the Grizzly Maze.
753
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,443
And ifs always such a surreal feeling
as the plane takes off,
754
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,206
and it doesn't quite sink into you,
just how alone you are.
755
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:27,282
That for the next two months or more,
you will be alone in this wild wilderness,
756
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,126
this jungle that the bears have carved
tunnels through,
757
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,844
and that's the Grizzly Maze.
758
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,840
It's July 26th. I hope to survive
759
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,730
and to be able to record
the secret world of the bears,
760
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,963
and then come September when people
might come to harm these animals,
761
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,646
I'll look after them. I'll make sure they're safe.
762
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:55,407
It is so weird though,
when it sinks in how alone you are.
763
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,324
Amie Huguenard remains
a great unknown of this film.
764
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,845
Her family declined Io appear on camera,
765
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,891
and Amie herself remains hidden
in Treadwe/Fs footage.
766
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,089
In nearly 100 hours of his video,
767
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,845
she appears exactly two times.
768
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,440
Here disembarking from the plane
in the year of her death.
769
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,483
We never see her face.
770
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,002
Here it is obscured by her hands and her hair.
771
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,003
Greetings, children of America.
772
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,005
The second shot that we have
doesn't show her face either.
773
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:44,684
She remains a mystery,
veiled by a mosquito net, obscured, unknown.
774
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:51,766
Only through Treadwell's diaries do we know
that she was frightened of bears.
775
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:02,890
The only other hint we have of her presence
is this shot here of Treadwetf.
776
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,890
It is handheld, and we can only deduct
777
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,930
it must have been Amie operating the camera.
778
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:24,529
Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard's
remains came in this large metal can.
779
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,201
Inside this metal can was a plastic bag,
780
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:31,925
one for Timothy and one for Amie.
781
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:36,284
I mean, these are human beings,
and the question I ask is first of all,
782
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,249
“Who are you, Timothy?
783
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,129
“Who are you, Amie?
784
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,804
“And what happened to you?"
785
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,370
In the case of Timothy and Amie,
what I had were body parts.
786
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,171
Just the visual input
787
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:53,564
of seeing a detached
human being before my eyes
788
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,605
makes my heart race, makes the hair stand up
on the back of my head.
789
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,287
Particularly in combination
with the contents of a tape,
790
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,564
an audio tape, that is the sound portion
of the video tape.
791
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,604
And when I find out from other investigators
792
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,480
that the shoes neatly placed
at the entrance to a tent,
793
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:18,329
and the cap left on a camera
so that the visual part could not be recorded,
794
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:23,645
yet the tape is running so that we can hear
the sounds of Amie screaming
795
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:27,122
and the sounds of Timothy moaning,
796
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:32,521
tells me that this event occurred very,
very quickly, suddenly and unexpectedly.
797
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,969
I clearly can hear her screaming stop
and go away.
798
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,131
Maybe run away.
799
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,527
There's a lot of background noise.
800
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,125
Timothy is moaning,
801
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:48,564
and I hear Amie beating on the top
of this bear's head with a frying pan,
802
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,167
and Timothy is saying, "Run away, let go.
803
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:56,327
"Run away, run away, Amie. Run away."
804
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,851
Amie had a great deal of conviction.
805
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,283
She had a great deal of conviction
in this relationship, we know that.
806
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,722
Although in the past
she was more standoffish.
807
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,566
She didn't get as close
to the bear as Timothy did.
808
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,769
She was more cautious.
809
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,763
However, I know that at the moment of death,
810
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:25,530
when one is being tried to the maximum
of one's ability to be faithful,
811
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:31,764
to stick to a situation,
to be loyal, if one can say that, to Timothy,
812
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,481
she stayed there
and she fought with Timothy.
813
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,887
She did not run away.
814
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:42,448
Amie, we know,
fought back for approximately six minutes.
815
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:47,003
Amie stayed with her lover,
816
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,571
with her partner,
with her mate, and with the bear.
817
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,049
Ultimately, she stayed with the bear
in the situation.
818
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,400
This is Timothy's camera.
819
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:21,247
During the fatal attack
there was no time to remove the lens cap.
820
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,441
Jewel Palovak allowed me
to listen to the audio.
821
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,446
I hear rain, and I hear Amie,
"Get away, get away, go away."
822
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,284
Can you turn it off?
823
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,451
Jewel, you must never listen to this.
824
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,324
I know Werner.
I'm never going to.
825
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:29,770
And you must never look at the photos
that I've seen at the coroner's office.
826
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,848
- I will never look at them.
- Yeah.
827
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,887
They said it was bad.
828
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,163
Now you know why no one's gonna hear it.
829
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,003
I think you, you should not keep it.
You should destroy it.
830
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,127
Yeah?
831
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,162
I think that's what you should do.
832
00:53:59,240 --> 00:54:00,241
OK.
833
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,410
Because it will be the white elephant
in your room all your life.
834
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,125
Well, here I am at the scene of the fight.
835
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:11,491
It looks as if tractors tore the land up,
raked it, rode it, tilled it, tossed it about.
836
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,808
There is fur everywhere, and in the camera
foreground, excreted waste.
837
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,121
In the middle of the fight so violent,
838
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,205
so upsetting, that Sergeant Brown
went to the bathroom,
839
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,931
did a number two during his fight.
840
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,562
Extremely emotional, extremely powerful,
841
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,570
and yet both bears back in pursuit of Saturn,
842
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,571
including Mickey who appears to have gotten
the worse for the wear
843
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:40,806
in the fight between Sergeant Brown
and Mickey for the right to court Saturn,
844
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,644
the queen of the Grizzly Sanctuary.
845
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,401
Amazing.
846
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:46,726
Oh, Mickey, I love you.
847
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,649
And Mickey's now the closest bear to Saturn,
848
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,963
back in like a horse
in a race that does not give up.
849
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,805
We love that bear, Mickey. We love him.
850
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,123
We love him, but Mickey, I've been down that
street. I've been down that street.
851
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,089
You don't always get the chick you want.
852
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,771
Let me tell you,
it doesn't always effing work out.
853
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,250
Hey, he's after my own heart.
854
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,449
He don't give up,
even when it looks shitty.
855
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,364
All right, love you, Mickey. Love you, Mickey.
856
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,523
Well, I just wanna discuss that fight
with Mickey bear right here.
857
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,921
He's right next to me here in
the Grizzly Sanctuary on the tide fly,
858
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,122
Saturn off to camera left.
859
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,000
Mick, you underestimated Sergeant Brown.
860
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,244
You went in for the head, he seemed to be
rope-a-doping you like he wasn't that tough,
861
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,204
and then once you banged into him,
862
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,081
man, he turned out to be one heck
of a rough bear. A very rough bear.
863
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:46,125
And I'm telling you, I was so scared I almost
got sick to my stomach watching you fight,
864
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,924
and then when he knocked you down
and you had him,
865
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,962
and you were down on your back,
it was terrible.
866
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,128
It was terrible. I...
867
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,964
I'm not duking it out for any girl like that.
868
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,963
I'm telling you right now,
I'm not duking it out for any girl,
869
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:00,523
but you know, well, I've had
my troubles with the girls. Yeah. Yeah.
870
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,285
And I'll tell you something,
if Saturn was a female human,
871
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,642
I could just see how beautiful
she is as a bear, hoo.
872
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:11,481
I've always called her
the Michelle Pfeiffer of bears out here.
873
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,410
All right, you lay there.
I'm gonna go off with your girlfriend.
874
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,323
Don't beat me up over it.
875
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,643
I'm cool, I'm cool. I'm respectful.
876
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,007
Things are bad for me with the human women,
877
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,281
but not so bad
that I have to be hitting on bears yet.
878
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,163
OK? OK? Thanks.
879
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,484
Merzog} In his diaries,
880
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,003
Treadwefl speaks often
of the human world as something foreign.
881
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:40,284
He made a clear distinction
between the bears and the people's world
882
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,523
which moved further
and further into the distance.
883
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:50,162
Wild, primordial nature
was where he felt truly at home.
884
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,522
We explored the glacier in the back country
of his Grizzly Sanctuary.
885
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,170
This gigantic complexity
of tumbling ice and abysses
886
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,568
separated Treadweil from the world out there.
887
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,643
And more so, it seems to me
that this landscape in turmoil
888
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,200
is a metaphor of his soul.
889
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,291
Off there in the distance
is his bay and his campsite,
890
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,806
where he battled his demons.
891
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,606
What drove Timothy into the wild?
892
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,764
We visited his parents in Florida.
893
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,203
Timothy grew up with four siblings
in Long Nanci
894
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,562
in a solid middle class family
where the father worked
895
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,924
as a foreman of a construction team
for a telephone company.
896
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,646
Them must have been an urge to escape
the safety of his protected environment.
897
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,365
t was moved to find
that among at! memorabilia in the house,
898
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,523
his mother was clutching
Timothy's favourite bear.
899
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,403
This has been to Alaska many times.
900
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,489
Yeah, I'm sure he loved it to the end,
you know?
901
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,042
It's just his childhood toy.
902
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,522
Tim's childhood
pointed toward nothing extraordinary.
903
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,729
A normal everyday kid.
904
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,203
Never any trouble in school.
Always a good student.
905
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,487
Not an A student, a B student.
906
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,648
And, got along great with kids
907
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,171
and animals.
908
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,482
Tim and I were extremely connected
to animals in the house.
909
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,767
I think more so than anybody else.
910
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:52,122
This squirrel named VVil/ie
became Timothy's best friend.
911
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,281
Teddy bears meant a M to him.
912
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,363
He seemed to develop
into an All-American boy,
913
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,489
handsome, athletic, full of promise.
914
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,963
He excelled on his high school swim team.
915
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,887
(Sarah He went off
to Bradley University,
916
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,008
on his diving scholarship.
917
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,002
I think he started drinking out there
918
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,442
and having, you know,
just hanging out with the wrong people,
919
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,171
and then he injured his back,
and he ended up
920
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,320
losing his scholarship
and coming back home.
921
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,124
Yeah, he did attempt
to smoke marijuana in the house.
922
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,521
- Yeah. He did, yeah.
- But...
923
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:38,487
I put the kibosh on that,
but obviously he was doing it elsewhere, so.
924
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,047
He really wanted, a new start, a fresh start.
925
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,491
So when he went out to California
he was 19 or 20.
926
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,364
He wasn't a young 15 or 16-year-old.
927
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,846
- He was of age.
- He'd gotten a job
928
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,886
just to make money on the Queen Mary
at the gift shop.
929
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,200
He did hire an agent.
930
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:04,610
He did change his name to Treadwell
to be theatrical.
931
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,808
And it was a family name.
932
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:14,567
I know he got on the Love Connection
with Chuck Woolery.
933
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,689
I think he got on another show.
934
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,610
There were promises made
that never came true,
935
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,127
and he tested with the actors
936
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,921
to get the bartender job on Cheers.
937
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,409
And allegedly he came in second
to Woody Harrelson.
938
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:37,771
How close to second I don't know,
but that is what really destroyed him,
939
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,202
that he did not get that job on Cheers.
940
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,083
- He spiralled down.
- Mmm-hmm.
941
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,011
Timmy used to body surf out here.
942
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,607
He had a boogie board
with the Union Jack on it.
943
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,405
And he was totally fearless.
944
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,280
And the amazing thing about Timmy,
945
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,529
he had this Prince Valiant haircut,
946
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,446
and he could surf and go underwater
947
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,844
and yet still that hair
would hide his receding hairline.
948
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,207
It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.
949
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,126
No matter how rough the surf,
you never saw Timmy's forehead.
950
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,610
I don't know how he did that.
951
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,323
How does the hair look?
952
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:33,644
At some point in Timmy's life
he had a near fatal overdose.
953
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,450
How he survived it, I don't know.
954
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:38,641
He was a tough guy.
955
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,041
But I guess it was an epiphany for him.
956
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,131
After that he was looking
for a different persona.
957
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:51,646
I guess that's when he came up with...
958
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,526
Where he was from and his delightful accent.
959
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,005
And I never questioned it.
960
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,208
Treadwellfis need to Invent
a new persona for himself
961
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,090
lead him to elaborate fabrications.
962
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,891
He claimed to be an orphan from Australia
963
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:11,284
and even checked out details
of a small town in the Australian outback
964
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,362
'm order to sound convincing.
965
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,204
His accent, though, remained suspicious.
966
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,282
It almost sounded
more Kennedy-esque than Australian.
967
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:23,611
After Timmy's death,
968
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,525
people said, "Well, don't you feel betrayed
969
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,166
“that he did that?
970
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,363
“That he didn't tell you the truth
about his accent or his origins?"
971
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:36,520
And that never bothered me.
972
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:38,571
Timmy always amused me.
973
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,845
And there's an old saying on the farm,
"If it doesn't scare the cows, who cares."
974
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:49,124
Well, I don't think
Timmy ever scared the cows, so who cares.
975
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:51,884
He was troubled.
976
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,689
I mean, it...
977
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,523
One time he went to a doctor
978
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,884
and they wanted to put him on some kind
of an anti-depressant or something
979
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,090
to keep his mood,
cos his moods were so up and down.
980
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,966
And he started taking it for a while
and then he stopped,
981
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,247
and he said "I had to stop."
And I said, "Why?"
982
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,847
And he said, “Because I can't be...
983
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,402
“I can't have the middle ground.
I have to have the highs and the lows.
984
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,046
“It's a part of my life.
It's a part of my personality."
985
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,889
And he definitely had a dark side.
986
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:28,164
I mean, he was mixed up in drugs,
which is, makes you mixed up in bad people
987
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:29,924
and, you know, people with guns,
988
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:34,409
and Timothy always had a sense of justice
that was his own.
989
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,729
So, he got into a lot, a lot of trouble.
990
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,730
- And I think that...
- How dangerous?
991
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,728
How dangerous? I mean...
992
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,960
I don't think he would have ever,
he couldn't have ever killed anybody,
993
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,610
but he always kept it in check.
994
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,364
One thing that we did every once in a while
995
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,444
which just seems so bizarre by now,
but it's...
996
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,450
We would go when we lived in the valley,
to the Van Nuys Courthouse
997
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,962
and we would watch
when criminals were being sentenced.
998
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,725
We would watch people
getting their sentence,
999
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,249
and I think we did it,
I did it just for shock value and just they...
1000
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,966
You know, cos it's something I'd never done,
but he did it, I think,
1001
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,483
to remind him of if he went to that dark place,
1002
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:18,891
what his life would be.
1003
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,644
I'm in love with my animal friends.
I'm in love with my animal friends.
1004
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,489
In love with my animal friends.
1005
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,164
I'm very, very troubled.
1006
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:36,691
It's very emotional.
1007
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,006
It's probably not cool even looking like this.
1008
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:45,608
I'm so in love with them,
and they're so effed over, which so sucks.
1009
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,884
Do you know
you're the star for all the children?
1010
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,211
They love you
and I love you so much and thank you.
1011
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,524
Thank you for being my friend.
1012
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,369
Isn't this just so sad?
1013
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:21,044
This is a bumblebee
who expired as it was working
1014
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:25,245
at doing the pollen thing
on this Alaskan fireweed,
1015
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:30,201
and it just is...
Just has really touched me to no end.
1016
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,722
It went, it was doing its duty,
it was flying around.
1017
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:40,205
It was working, busy as a bee
and it died right there.
1018
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,487
It's beautiful, it's sad, it's tragic.
1019
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,250
I love that bee.
1020
01:08:48,440 --> 01:08:50,249
Well, the bee moved.
1021
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,805
Was it sleeping?
1022
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,600
Here's your poop.
1023
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,006
It just came out of her butt.
1024
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,689
I can feel it.
1025
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,609
I can feel the poop.
1026
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,490
It's warm. ltjust came...
ltjust came from her butt.
1027
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,804
This was just inside of her.
1028
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,086
My girl.
1029
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:34,400
I'm touching it.
1030
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:37,969
It's your poop. It's Wendy's poop!
1031
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:40,964
I know it may seem weird
that I touched her poop,
1032
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,644
but it was inside of her.
1033
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,970
It's what... It's her life. It's her!
1034
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,688
And she's so precious to me.
She gave me Downey.
1035
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,762
Downey's... I adore Downey.
1036
01:09:53,440 --> 01:09:54,965
Everything about them is perfect.
1037
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,121
Herzecg Perfection belonged to the bears,
1038
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,164
but once in a while
Treadweh came face to face
1039
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,369
with the harsh reality of wild nature.
1040
01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:08,728
This did not fit into his sentimental/Zed view
1041
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,848
that everything out there was good
1042
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,764
and the universe in balance and in harmony.
1043
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,964
Male bears sometimes kt}! cubs
1044
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,401
to stop the females from lactating
1045
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:23,563
and thus have them
ready again for fornication.
1046
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,403
Oh, God.
1047
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:40,610
I love you,
1048
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,486
I love you, and I...
1049
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,608
Don't understand.
1050
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:52,204
It's a painful world.
1051
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,481
Here, Idiffer with Treadwell.
1052
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,730
He seemed to ignore the fact
that in nature there are predators.
1053
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,010
% bekeve the common denominator
of the universe is not harmony,
1054
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,448
but chaos, hostility and murder.
1055
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,370
He wandered loo far from the den,
1056
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:12,205
and the wolves last night
that I heard howling,
1057
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,210
screeching in glee and excitement,
1058
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,325
it was over the termination
of one of the babies.
1059
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:24,605
So expedition 2001 has taken a sad turn,
but it is a real turn,
1060
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,890
and I mourn the death
of this gorgeous baby fox.
1061
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,241
- Goodbye, little fox.
1062
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,205
Get out of his eye you, frickin' fly.
Don't do it when I'm around.
1063
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:40,891
Have some respect, fucker.
1064
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:46,562
Most disturbing for him
was to find the skull of a young bean.
1065
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,326
In the summer of 2000
came an extended drought.
1066
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,166
The creek was so low
that for weeks there was no salmon run,
1067
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,607
and starving bears simply ate their own.
1068
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,605
It has been only five,
1069
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,251
not even six days since the baby died,
1070
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:05,646
and this is all
1071
01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:09,324
that's left of the little tyke, that's it.
1072
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,290
There's nothing else left.
They've eaten everything.
1073
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,806
It's so sad. She was so cute.
1074
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,042
Five days and all's that left is a skull.
1075
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,486
Herzocg This salted for desperate measures.
1076
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:34,168
There are fish lining up
about to try to make a run,
1077
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,325
and now they have a good reason for going,
because I have built them a corridor.
1078
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:39,731
Let's have a look at it.
1079
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,802
What I have done is, have a look.
1080
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:46,129
I have constructed a runway for them,
a navigational trail.
1081
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,330
Herzog When interference with nature
was not enough,
1082
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,641
he had to invoke higher powers.
1083
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,246
Oh, the live TV, live on tape.
1084
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,561
OK, so here's the deal.
1085
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,324
Pull this down a little bit.
1086
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,681
It's...
1087
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,650
It's September 20th. It's the year 2000.
1088
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,643
It's Expedition 2000.
1089
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,485
There has not been a substantial rainfall
for almost two months.
1090
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,281
The fish have not run
since about August 2nd, August 3rd.
1091
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,166
We are now getting our first rain,
but it has just slowed down.
1092
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,807
We need at least two inches,
I think even three inches of rain.
1093
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,322
In the last two hours
we're up a little over 0.20 inches of rain.
1094
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:28,920
That is not enough.
We're gonna need more rain.
1095
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,923
We need more rain!
1096
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,170
Downey is hungry!
1097
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,725
Tabitha's hungry!
1098
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,280
Melissa is eating her babies!
1099
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:40,164
I'm like a fuckin' nut.
1100
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,682
We've got to have some rain.
1101
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,722
Now I'm not a religious guy, no.
1102
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,121
But I'm telling ya, I just,
I'm just pissed because...
1103
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,367
It just doesn't seem right.
It just doesn't seem right.
1104
01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:55,363
I know its just weather and crap like that,
1105
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:58,762
and it's, I don't know what,
what the variables are,
1106
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,207
but we've gotta have some goddamn rain!
1107
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,084
So if there's a God, Downey needs to eat!
1108
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,889
Dump on us, hurt us!
1109
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,291
Come on!
1110
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:14,726
Think rain.
1111
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:18,731
Think rain.
1112
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:21,485
Such a crappy little shower right now!
1113
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,449
What kind of crappy... Come on!
1114
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,085
I'll tape this again.
1115
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,611
Does not make me
very, very happy.
1116
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:34,084
I want rain, I want, if there's
a God, to kick some ass down here.
1117
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,363
Let's have some water, Jesus boy!
1118
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,880
Let's have some water, Christ man,
1119
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:45,245
or Allah or Hindu floaty thing.
1120
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,722
Let's have some fucking water
for these animals!
1121
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:03,129
It is now September 21st, Thursday
of the year 2000, Expedition 2000.
1122
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,362
I am the Lord's humble servant.
1123
01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:08,649
I am Allah's disciple.
1124
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:12,611
I am the floaty thing's... Gopher boy.
1125
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,483
There has been a miracle here.
There's been an absolute miracle.
1126
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,970
It has rained 1.65 inches of rain today.
1127
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,971
We have over two inches
now in the storm, and it is not stopping.
1128
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:26,963
It may hit three inches of rain.
1129
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,965
It went from a trickle to a flood,
and it's amazing,
1130
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,122
and we have a really, really great chance
1131
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,647
of a run of fish for the animals.
1132
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:41,328
And what is even more miraculous,
according to my radio
1133
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,646
it is not raining much
around anywhere else but around here.
1134
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:50,321
Oops.
1135
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,400
Well...
1136
01:15:56,440 --> 01:15:59,011
It's now after, 2:00 on October 4th,
1137
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,486
and the tent has caved in due to the storm.
1138
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,251
I'm still here with my little teddy bear.
1139
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:06,766
And I think the storm
has actually gotten a little weaker,
1140
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,208
but in the course of it getting stronger,
it crushed the wall in
1141
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:11,930
and bent some of the poles.
1142
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,968
And you really can't do much
about it because
1143
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,571
once they get like that
they just stay kind of bent in,
1144
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,325
and you're screwed and all that.
1145
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:22,808
This is my life, this is what I do.
1146
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,567
And I love it. I love it.
1147
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,449
Even this, I love it.
1148
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,967
My tent crushed in, I love it.
It's pathetic, but I love it.
1149
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:35,964
♪ Hello, hello, hello. Whoo-hoo!
1150
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,883
♪ Hello, hello, hello ♪
1151
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:41,804
Are you scared, little bear?
1152
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,281
The storm's gonna go on and on and on.
1153
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,807
It doesn't look like I may get out of here
for another week or so.
1154
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,928
Ahhh.
1155
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,081
Oh, look at this.
1156
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:54,562
I put my tripod up to shore
up the tent I put a...
1157
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,847
I put a pole up there
and so now I've got a tent.
1158
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:00,487
That's a pretty good idea, huh?
A-ha, pretty good for me.
1159
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,770
We have about 35,000
brown grizzly bears here in Alaska.
1160
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,565
What we can tell,
it's a very healthy population,
1161
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,762
it's a stable population.
1162
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:25,247
Of course, you have to be careful with bears
because they have unique needs,
1163
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:26,765
especially the grizzly bear.
1164
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,922
They need large areas, for the most part.
1165
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,371
They have low reproductive rates.
1166
01:17:30,440 --> 01:17:33,046
You have to be cautious
in the way you utilise those animals.
1167
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,731
Bear hunting is an exampie,
is a very important aspect of the economy.
1168
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,889
Four-and-a-half mil/ion dollars a year
is spent on bear hunts.
1169
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,131
Here on Kodiak Island
we have about 3,000 bears.
1170
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,129
Each year we harvest about 160 of those.
1171
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,601
Through our research
we found that you can harvest
1172
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,765
about 6% of the population annually
and still have a healthy group of bears.
1173
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,731
And poaching?
1174
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,767
Poaching is not as big a concern around here
1175
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:05,323
as it has been in Russia, for instance,
and some other locations.
1176
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,721
There is some poaching
that occurs for gall bladders
1177
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,768
or some bears that are just killed wantonly,
1178
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,963
because people don't like them
or because they're afraid of them.
1179
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,283
But for the most pan here on Kodiak
and on the Alaskan peninsula
1180
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,011
it is a very rare occurrence
in the last 20 years.
1181
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,249
Despite the statistics,
Treadwell became increasingly paranoid
1182
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,368
about his enemy, the poacher.
1183
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,521
And it's gotten to be September
near October,
1184
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,364
and it's the time of year
where poachers could come around,
1185
01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:36,603
it's time for me
to go in my guerrilla-style camouflage outfit.
1186
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:40,122
Downey still recognises me
by talking lo her, don't you?
1187
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:44,205
Yeah, I'm the big crazy guy,
or the skinny crazy guy with the,
1188
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,328
with the camouflage make-up on.
1189
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,165
They're armed with pepper spray and rocks.
1190
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,923
In all his video recordings
over the years,
1191
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,210
this is Treadwe/Vs closest encounter
with intruders.
1192
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,687
I believe the guide
is the person with the camera,
1193
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,289
the big camera on the tripod.
1194
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:10,169
There we go. Get a nice close up of him there.
1195
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,886
He's the one who threw the rock
at Freckles the bear.
1196
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,486
It's Quincy.
1197
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,045
They're throwing rocks at him.
1198
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,205
They're throwing rocks at my Quincy.
1199
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,882
They're gonna stone him
and then they're gonna photograph him.
1200
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,969
Oh, that's it. That's enough of this.
1201
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,644
That's it! They hit Quincy.
1202
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,121
Oh' oh.
1203
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,881
I don't wanna expose myself to them.
1204
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,762
I am submitting this as,
Sunday August 1st.
1205
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:56,448
It is 4:35 and 18 seconds on this day.
1206
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,242
It's hard to say, but ifs a warning of a sort,
1207
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,886
and it's obviously hereto upset me.
1208
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:05,646
Phew!
1209
01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:10,769
"Hi, Timothy. See you in summer of 2001 ."
1210
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,087
Now it doesn't say, "Hi, Timothy,
we're gonna fucking kill you."
1211
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,885
It doesn't say, “Hi, Timothy,
you're fucking dead,
1212
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:17,081
"we're gonna chop your legs off.
1213
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,168
"Hey, Timothy, get the fuck out."
1214
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,369
ltjust says, "See you in summer of 2001 ."
1215
01:20:22,440 --> 01:20:24,442
But it is some sort of a warning.
1216
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,602
It is some son of a ha-ha.
1217
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,449
I don't think ifs friendly.
1218
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,082
Well, it's gotten a little worse
here with... There's...
1219
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,363
The warning, “Hi, Timothy,
see you summer of 2001
1220
01:20:36,440 --> 01:20:39,205
Now I found this big stack of rocks
1221
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:40,725
that were, you know, put some labour here.
1222
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:44,805
We're not calling this
the building of the pyramids,
1223
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,446
but we are saying there's a bit of trouble.
1224
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,126
Now, I'm gonna walk back.
I'm gonna bring you back here...
1225
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,211
Through my camp.
Let's come through here, pathway.
1226
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,204
Here's where. here's where the...
1227
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,284
The sign was here which is where my tent is.
1228
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,966
And then we go over
where my bear-proof barrels would be
1229
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,644
and we find boulders piled up...
1230
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,244
Boulders piled up
1231
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:18,405
and a happy face
indelibly painted into the rock,
1232
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:20,645
like, looking at me.
1233
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,123
Very, very frickin' frightening, huh?
1234
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:28,446
Whoever put it there...
1235
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,331
Knew what they were doing.
1236
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,090
That it was, ifs a warning.
1237
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,889
And the thing is,
it's better than a warning
1238
01:21:40,480 --> 01:21:44,166
than, it's better than, like,
"You're fucking dead" type of thing.
1239
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,925
It's creepy, baby, it's creepy.
1240
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,764
It's Freddy Krueger creepy.
1241
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,802
There were visitors
every now and then,
1242
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,969
but for Treadwell, they were just intruders.
1243
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,289
An encroaching threat upon
what he considered his Eden.
1244
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:09,166
Even the park service itself became an enemy
because of its restrictions.
1245
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:17,281
I have decided to violate a federal rule
which states I must camp one mile...
1246
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,524
Every week I must move one mile
after staying for seven consecutive days.
1247
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,968
If I was to do that here
I would not be able to study these bears,
1248
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:26,565
I would not be able to really protect them.
1249
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,484
I'd have to actually move out
of the bay to get a mile out.
1250
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,649
Therefore I have decided
to protest the United States government
1251
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,564
and guard these bears anyway and stay
and I have...
1252
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:41,002
In order to get around
the rule of not camping permanently
1253
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:46,080
in one spot, he would camouflage
and hide his tent from the park service.
1254
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,083
But more than that,
he was in constant violation
1255
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,243
of another very reasonable park rule,
1256
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:58,565
that you have to maintain at least 100 yards
distance from the bears.
1257
01:22:58,680 --> 01:22:59,761
Ding.
1258
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,480
Hi, go back to your friend.
Go back to your friend.
1259
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,362
Shh, shh, shh, ifs OK.
1260
01:23:08,440 --> 01:23:09,601
It's OK.
1261
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:14,207
You're awfully close.
1262
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,844
Hi, oh, hi there.
1263
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,721
(Herzog The park restrictions
made him increasingly irate.
1264
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,450
Well, we're into autumn now.
1265
01:23:26,480 --> 01:23:28,767
Expedition 2001 coming to an end.
1266
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,241
The bears moving safely
towards their winter dens,
1267
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,408
the foxes hiding in the woods,
1268
01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:36,125
safe from the humans
that would come to harm them.
1269
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,130
It's been an amazing season.
it's been difficult.
1270
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,966
But I came, I served,
I protected, and I studied.
1271
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,441
And I promise I'll be back.
1272
01:23:55,440 --> 01:23:56,646
My hair.
1273
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,723
Expedition 2001 coming to an end
for Grizzly People, for me, Timothy Treadwell.
1274
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,087
I came here and protected the animals
as best I could.
1275
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,482
In fact, I'm the only protection
for these animals out here.
1276
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,161
The government flying over
a grand total of two times in two months.
1277
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,249
How dare they! How dare they challenge me!
1278
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,846
How dare they smear me
with their campaigns.
1279
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,166
How dare they!
1280
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,489
When they do not look after these animals,
and I come here in peace and in love,
1281
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:25,403
neutral in respect.
1282
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:31,802
I will continue to do this. I will fight them.
I will be an American dissident if I need be.
1283
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,842
There's a patriotic time going on right now,
1284
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,526
but as far as
this fucking government's concerned,
1285
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:38,324
fuck you, motherfucking park service!
1286
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:43,082
Now Treadwe/I crosses a line
with the park service which we will not cross.
1287
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:48,005
He attacks the Individuals
with whom he worked for 13 years.
1288
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:53,086
I beat your fucking asses!
I protected the animals! I did it!
1289
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:54,286
Fuck you!
1290
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,486
Animals rules, Timothy conquered.
1291
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,884
Fuck you, park service!
1292
01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:04,527
OK.
1293
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:10,041
It is clear to me that the park service
is not Treadwelfs real enemy.
1294
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,160
There is a larger,
more implacable adversary out there,
1295
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,806
the people's world and civilisation.
1296
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,409
"Oh, Timothy,
I'm getting a bad feeling about you."
1297
01:25:21,480 --> 01:25:24,563
He only has mockery
and contempt for it.
1298
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,690
"Well, I saw you on
David Letterman, you're fairly entertaining."
1299
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,645
His rage
is almost incandescent, artistic.
1300
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:37,410
The actor in his film
has taken over from the filmmaker.
1301
01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:41,445
t have seen this madness before on a film set.
1302
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:46,560
But Weadwefl is not an actor
in opposition to a director or a producer.
1303
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,126
He is fighting civflisation itself.
1304
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,845
It is the same civilisation
that cast Thoreau out of Walden
1305
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,321
and John Muir into the wild.
1306
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,091
Animals rule!
1307
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,447
All right, that's my happy stuff.
1308
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:06,970
Let's do a couple of nice takes now.
1309
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:08,485
Oh, man, did I get angry.
1310
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,767
Fuck them, right?
They do not watch these animals.
1311
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:11,926
They don't care about these animals.
1312
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,123
All they ever wanna do
is screw people like me around.
1313
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,686
It's amazing. Let the fishermen
fucking shoot the animals,
1314
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,569
let the fucking poachers
come in here and fuck 'em,
1315
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,489
let the fucking commercial people
fuck them around
1316
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,404
with their fucking cameras
and shit and the tourists.
1317
01:26:24,440 --> 01:26:25,965
But we're gonna go screw
with Timothy Treadwell
1318
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,731
because he loves animals
and teaches kids for free.
1319
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,802
Lets go, let's do that.
That's what we're gonna do.
1320
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,161
Well, fuck them. Fuck them.
I beat you. I beat you, motherfuckers.
1321
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,049
I beat you. Beat you.
1322
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,806
So fuck you. I beat you. I beat you.
1323
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:40,564
I'm the champion. I'm the fucking champion.
1324
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,962
I beat you. I beat your fucking asses.
1325
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,571
Fucking losers! Fucking nobodies!
1326
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:48,806
Fuck!
1327
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,483
Fucking fucks!
1328
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,848
Well, Expedition 2001 coming to an end.
1329
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,122
The bears safely moving
into their winter dens,
1330
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:00,730
the foxes hiding in the woods.
1331
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,929
I came here, I studied them, protected them,
1332
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,326
and I promise you,
I promise the Grizzly People I will be back.
1333
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:09,686
I will be back.
1334
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:14,610
And I thank the animals for keeping me safe
and for inspiring me.
1335
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:16,250
I thank them so very much.
1336
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:19,321
Goodbye.
1337
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,528
This is my favourite.
1338
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,523
This is my cowboy.
1339
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,844
Always in black, always sunglasses
and always a bandana.
1340
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,684
I miss you terribly.
1341
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,768
He was very dear to my heart,
very dear to my heart.
1342
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,763
My heart hurts every day for him.
1343
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,080
He was a good friend.
1344
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:51,961
Uh...
1345
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:57,329
I've known him 13 years,
and he just was a good friend.
1346
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:01,729
He was a distant friend in the winter
and a close friend in the summer,
1347
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,441
and I helped him
do quite a few things here,
1348
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:08,524
and he'd always come back
1349
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:12,042
and I was kind of his confidante here.
1350
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:13,486
And...
1351
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,124
But I miss him. I miss his...
1352
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,366
His rambunctious personality
1353
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:25,247
and his outgoing, his heart, his, you know,
just everything about him, I think.
1354
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:31,923
Kathleen Parker still holds
some of Timothy Treadwe/Fs ashes.
1355
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:35,887
She insists
that she was a platonic friend only.
1356
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,206
She stored his gear
in her basement during the winters.
1357
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,849
He would set out mm the wilderness
from her house.
1358
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:45,921
When he would leave,
1359
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,929
he would say at my back door,
he says, "I love you.“
1360
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:55,090
He says, "This is going to be the best year
of my life out there"
1361
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:59,768
and he says, "If I don't come back,
it's what I want.
1362
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:01,524
"This is the way I wanna go."
1363
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:08,005
Now see, his last camp
was just right in the right hand edge
1364
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,606
o? this slope, patch of trees here.
1365
01:29:14,440 --> 01:29:17,967
Right down here in this,
very end of these trees here.
1366
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,848
This is his ashes,
1367
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,083
some of them for me to spread
1368
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:48,041
and some bear hair, fur, and some weeds
1369
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:49,565
and what else is in there?
1370
01:29:50,440 --> 01:29:53,011
There's a little bit of lupin,
there's a little bit of iris.
1371
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:54,929
- Oh.
- There's...
1372
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,684
- I think bear fur.
- Where did you get the bear fur?
1373
01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:59,000
We picked it up off the ground.
1374
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:00,764
Oh cool. Cool.
1375
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,330
Kathleen, where are we here?
1376
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:06,041
We are at a campsite
where Timothy last camped,
1377
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:10,682
not where he was killed,
but over here in Hallo Bay.
1378
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,643
And, Willy, you can,
cos you brought him over here.
1379
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:18,207
Well, his last campsite was right here
in the trees here,
1380
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,244
and he camped there
because he was right between two fox dens.
1381
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:23,846
Yd been in the camp there,
and the fox wouid come
1382
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:28,289
right to the edge of {he tent and go down
in their, in their dens right there.
1383
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,523
And so I think that's probably
the main reason he camped right there.
1384
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:35,885
OK, Timothy.
1385
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:39,725
I love you.
1386
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,848
And rest peacefully.
1387
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:50,407
Rest peacefully, my love.
1388
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,121
Finally figured a way out to live here forever.
1389
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,245
He's here forever.
1390
01:31:04,440 --> 01:31:07,887
This is Timothy Treadweiis
and Amie Huguenards route
1391
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:09,684
to the site of their death.
1392
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,211
There was a certain absurdity in their end.
1393
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:18,245
As usual, the expedition was over
by the end of September
1394
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:22,769
and both had returned to Kodiak
on their way back to California.
1395
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,722
Treadwett writes in his diary
that at the airport,
1396
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,207
he had an altercation
with an obese airline agent
1397
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,607
over the validity of his ticket.
1398
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,603
"How much K hate the people's world,"
he writes
1399
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:43,045
and disgusted, decides right then
to return to this spot and his bears.
1400
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:49,569
Once back in the Grizzly Maze,
Amie had {nixed feelings.
1401
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:54,606
She was afraid of the bears
and had a deadline to return for a new job
1402
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,803
and spoke openly about leaving him for good.
1403
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,680
According to one of the last entries
in Treadwe/Fs diary,
1404
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:06,162
Amie called him hell-bent on destruction.
1405
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:11,968
And yet inexplicably,
she remained with him here in the Maze.
1406
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:22,931
Normally, Treadwell would not be here
this late in the year.
1407
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,803
And upon their return,
1408
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:30,289
he discovered that many of his bear friends
had gone into hibernation
1409
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:35,850
and scary, unknown and wilder bears
from the Interior had moved in.
1410
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,803
This is the spot
where they set up their last camp.
1411
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,603
Let me tell you,
1412
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,810
honestly, camping in grizzly country
is dangerous.
1413
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,690
People who camp in grizzly country
should camp out in the open
1414
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,530
to let the bears know where the tent is.
1415
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,528
My camp is unseen.
1416
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:10,201
It is the most dangerous camping
and the most dangerous living
1417
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,806
in the history of the world
by any human being.
1418
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,208
I have lived longer
with wild, brown grizzly bears
1419
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,323
without weapons,
and that's the key, without weapons,
1420
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:24,082
in modern history
than any human on Earth, any human.
1421
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,083
And I have remained safe.
1422
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,970
But every second of every day
that I move through thisjungle
1423
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:30,565
or even at the tent,
1424
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:35,242
I am right on the precipice
of great bodily harm or even death.
1425
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,084
And I am so thankful
for every minute of every day
1426
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,721
that I found the bears
and this place, the Grizzly Maze.
1427
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:52,331
But let me tell you ladies and gentlemen,
1428
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:56,564
there is no, no, no other place in the world
1429
01:33:56,600 --> 01:34:00,730
that is more dangerous, more exciting
than the Grizzly Maze.
1430
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:02,126
Come here and camp here.
1431
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,328
Come here and try to do
what I do, you will die.
1432
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,882
You will die here. You will frickin' die here.
1433
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,764
They will get you. I found a way.
1434
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,882
I found a way to survive with them.
1435
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,082
Am I a great person?
I don't know. I don't know.
1436
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:16,321
We're all great people.
1437
01:34:16,440 --> 01:34:18,442
Everyone has something
in them that's wonderful.
1438
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:24,446
I'm just different, and I love these bears
enough to do it right.
1439
01:34:24,480 --> 01:34:28,769
And I'm edgy enough and I'm tough enough,
1440
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:33,289
but mostly I love these bears
enough to survive and do it right.
1441
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:36,163
And I'm never giving this up,
never giving it up.
1442
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:38,282
Never giving up the Maze. Never.
1443
01:34:39,440 --> 01:34:40,680
This is it.
1444
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,525
This is my life. This is my land.
1445
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:54,123
Very late
in the process of editing this film,
1446
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,767
we were given access
to TreadweWs last video tape.
1447
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,971
Here he may have filmed his murderer.
1448
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,248
The kilter bear we know was a male
1449
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,405
whom years earlier
the park service had anaesthetized.
1450
01:35:12,480 --> 01:35:16,530
They extracted a tooth
which established him as being 28
1451
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:21,049
a! the time of the attack, quite old for a bear.
1452
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:25,489
They also tagged him
by a tattoo on his inner lip.
1453
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:29,531
They had given him a number only, 141.
1454
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:33,161
Bear 141, that's alt we know of him.
1455
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:42,126
And here, could this one be bear 141?
1456
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:50,607
What looks playful could be desperation.
1457
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:54,207
So Sate in the season, the bear is diving deep
1458
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:59,241
for one of the few remaining
salmon carcasses at the bottom of the lake.
1459
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,206
Treadwefl keeps {liming the bear
with a strange persistence.
1460
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,562
And a“ of a sudden this...
1461
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,570
ts Amie trying to get out of the shot?
1462
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:42,329
Did Treadwell wait till his last tape
to put her in his film?
1463
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:52,051
And what haunts me ts that
tn all the faces of a?! the bears
1464
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,082
that Treadwell ever filmed,
1465
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:58,449
I discover no kinship, no understanding,
no mercy.
1466
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:02,801
I see only the overwhelming
indifference of nature.
1467
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:09,041
To me, there is no such thing
as a secret world of the bears.
1468
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:13,802
And this blank stare speaks
only of a half bored Interest in food.
1469
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:19,603
But for Timothy Treadweli,
this bear was a friend, a saviour.
1470
01:37:22,480 --> 01:37:24,164
Amie Huguenard was screaming.
1471
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,447
All of a sudden
the intensity of Amie screaming
1472
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:32,411
reached a new height
and became very, very loud.
1473
01:37:32,440 --> 01:37:36,889
And she really, now, was screaming
at the top of her lungs.
1474
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:41,090
These horrifying screams
were punctuated by Timothy saying,
1475
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:45,006
"Go away, leave me, go away, run!
Get out of here."
1476
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,846
In other words, Timothy is trying now
to save Amie's life
1477
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:53,642
because Timothy realises,
at this point in time during this attack,
1478
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,848
Timothy knows he's gonna die.
1479
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:57,331
He knows that.
1480
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:00,891
My sense of listening to this tape
1481
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:05,249
is that the bear let go,
probably let go of the top of his head,
1482
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:07,402
where I found massive lacerations,
1483
01:38:07,480 --> 01:38:10,768
that is, tears of the scalp away from his head.
1484
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:14,165
Suddenly though, the bear, after letting go,
1485
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,689
grabbed Timothy
somewhere in the high leg area
1486
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:23,011
and Timothy, appropriately in my opinion,
1487
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:28,080
as a human being, decided
now is the time to save one life, anyway.
1488
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,486
If his life was going away,
if his life was fading away,
1489
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:35,725
now is the time for Amie to get out.
1490
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:44,491
Well, the expedition coming close to a close,
but I'm still of course here.
1491
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,284
It's been over four months in the wilderness,
1492
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:50,684
and a hurricane-force storm now building,
over 50 mile an hour winds.
1493
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,848
Soon over 70.
1494
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:54,968
The bears safely heading for their dens.
1495
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,044
The work, the work successful.
1496
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,841
I'm over 20 pounds lighter,
my clothes are rags.
1497
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:05,601
I've tried hard. I bleed for them.
I live for them. I'd die for them.
1498
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,202
I love them, I love this!
1499
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,206
It's tough work,
1500
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,521
but it's the only work I know,
and it's the only work I'll ever want.
1501
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,923
Take care of these animals,
take care of this land.
1502
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:31,171
He seems to hesitate
in leaving the last frame of his own film.
1503
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:32,730
It's the only thing I know.
1504
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:35,684
It's the only thing I wanna know.
1505
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,848
Merzog) Treadweil is gone.
1506
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:55,485
The argument how wrong or how right he was
disappears Into a distance, Into a fog.
1507
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:58,287
What remains is his footage.
1508
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,486
And while we watch the animals
in their joys of being,
1509
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:08,600
in their grace and ferociousness,
a thought becomes more and more clear,
1510
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,604
that it is not so much a look at wild nature
1511
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:15,844
as It is an Insight Into ourselves, our nature.
1512
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:20,889
And that, for me, beyond his mission,
1513
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,328
gives meaning to his fife and to his death.
