All language subtitles for The River Wild (1994)

Roarke!

Roarke!

I'm telling you
for the 157th time,

turn that
damn music off!

It's singeing my hair! You got to find
your sneakers, buddy.

Your old ones!

Hey! I want you to go
down to the spare room.

See if you can find
Dad's sneakers.

I think they're
under the bed.

Dad? Come on, Mom.

Why bother?

He's just
gonna cancel.

Dad always cancels.

Oh, come on.
Something just came up those other times.

Mommy, I have a stomachache
in my mouth.

Oh, God.

You do?

Here we go.

She pretends she's sick
so we don't go off and leave her.

Oh, Ro, stop it.
It's just for a few days.

With those notorious psychos,
your grandparents!

Oh.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.

I almost got you packed.

Hi. I just can't find

your old sneakers.

Um, can I talk to you
for a second?

Oh, you're not
gonna do this,

not three years
in a row.

Roarke, you take your sister
in the other room.

Come on, Willa.

And shut the door.

Please don't make this
harder than it already is.

What are we to you,
anyway, Tom?

Are we just some
gaggle of obligations

pulling on you, wearing you down,
making you tired?

Gail, Selvaggio did not
like my drawings.

I don't know why.
Probably they just weren't good enough.

And they're gonna give
the project to Parker.

So let Parker do it.
It's supposed to be his job.

Fine, so let Parker do it.
Maggie, get off the quilt.

Maggie!

Get off the quilt!

Maggie, get down.

Good girl.

Gail, how did this
become such a big deal?

Oh, it's not as big as the Selvaggio deal,
clearly.

But it is your
son's birthday again,

and he thinks you don't
want to spend any time with him.

You understand
that part?

I do not treat you
like a baby.

I treat you like a slob.
There's a difference. Oh !

Hello, darling.
Oh.

Oh, let me look at you.
It's so good to see you.

Hey!

It's good to see
you, too, Grandpa.

You have to
sign, buddy.

Hey! Oh, boy.
Oh, yeah.

You look good.

Where's Tom?
Well. . .

He didn't want to come.

No, no. He's working.
You know, he's really busy right now.

Mags!

Maggie!

I think my marriage
is over, Mama.

Oh, Bean.

Damn.

Well, he just can't
seem to make time for us anymore.

He's let himself get
so beaten up by his job.

He hates it, but he spends every
waking minute over there.

He hasn't been home one weekend
since Christmas.

I don't know what it is
that he's trying to prove.

But I'm really sick
of the whole thing.

I'm sick of
the whole fight.

Everything has become
unbelievably hard.

Honey, forgive me,
but you don't know what hard is.

That's because you
give yourself an out.

In our generation,
we had no out.

That was the pact
of marriage.

Do you think if I
gave myself an out

with your father,
given his orneriness and his deafness,

that I wouldn't have
taken it years ago?

Mom.

Here, let me
take that one.

Roarke.
Yeah.

Honey, go buy me a map and get the tags,
would you?

Okay.

The ranger down by the water said I had
to get some tags from here.

I thought this was
all I needed.

This just confirms
your reservation.

There you go.
Here's your three tags.

If a ranger asks,
show them to him.

Hey, can I buy those two
first aid kits from you?

Sure. Make it
50 bucks even.

Some of the Band-Aids
are missing from one of 'em.

Guy tore his ear up
on a fishhook.

Ouch.

Thank you very much.

Here. And can
I have a map?

I wish you were too, Pop.

Remember the trip down the Snake River
when I was 1 2?

That was the greatest.

Thanks.

Whoa, there, partner.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I just got
to get new feet.

Until you do,
you better slow on down.

You went to
that concert?

What?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Great show.

So you saw
Jane's Addiction.

Wish I could've seen them
before they broke up.

Uh-huh.

So, you goin' down
the river all alone?

No. No, me and a couple
of my buddies.

What about you?
Who are you goin' with?

My mom.

Oh, yeah?
I hear this is a pretty tough river.

She used to be
a guide here.

She wants me to
go down the river

before it gets polluted and ruined,
and stuff like that.

What about
your daddy?

He had to stay home and do one of his
stupid drawings.

Too bad.

Is that your mom?

Yeah.

I'm Wade.
What's your name?

Roarke.
Good to meet you, Roarke.

Mom ! Mom !

This is Wade. He's goin' down
the river, too.

Hi, Wade. I'm Gail.

Great idea,
showing Roarke the river before they ruin it.

Wade! Come on,
we gotta go!

Be right there.

So he tells me you used to be
a guide here.

About 150 years ago!

You must
know the river pretty well, then, huh?

Well, I used to.

How far you going?

End of the line,
Bridal Creek.

Oh, yeah? Us too.

Oh, great.

Come on, Wade!
We're dyin' here!

I wish I were going
with you guys.

Well.

Here you go, Roarke.

Keep the sun
out of your eyes.

Wow! No way!

What do you
say, Roarke?

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Well, see you on the river,
I guess.

I don't know.
We're gonna be goin' pretty fast.

Let's go, Wade!

I'm comin'.
I'm comin'.

I said
the right oar!

Okay, the right one.
Yeah ! That's it. Take it!

Get off
my damn foot!

It'll be a long haul with him
at the oars.

Guy in back knows
what he's doing.

Frank used to be a guide
on the Colorado.

Push with both oars!

It's Dad !
Daddy!

Is this where you sign up
for river rafting lessons?

I got a dry jacket
and a pair of reef walkers.

The guy at the camping store
said that's all I'll need.

What happened
to Mr. Selvaggio?

I brought him with me.

Let's go, boys.
One, two, three.

Let's do it!
Jump on !

Bye-bye, Mommy!

See you at Bridal Creek!

Whoa!

Whoa! That's it!

I love you, too!

Roarke.

Roarke!

It's beautiful.

Yeah.
Really.

Okay, sweetie,
put your helmet on, please.

Mom.
You don't have to wear it all the time,

but we got some rapids
comin' up here.

Just give me
a hand, damn it!

It's coming
right up!

You all right?

If you're gonna sit
there in the back,

you should sit on the floor
in the center.

I can't see
from there.

Well, then,
sit in front.

I like it here.

Okay.

Here we go!

Woo-hoo!

Wow, this is great!

Yes! Hold on, Maggie!

Look out for that rock!

Whoa!

That was great!
But where's Dad?

He's swimming.

Point your feet down !

Point your toes, Dad !

Could you just stop
laughing for a second

and help me into
the boat, please?

Is this the
biggest one, Mom?

Well, the biggest one's
the Gauntlet.

That's a five-plus.

That's off the scale.

When do we do that one?

Well, we don't
do that one.

That's after the take-out
at Bridal Creek.

You can't go down there.
Have you ever done it?

Mom is saying it's
too dangerous, Roarke.

For you, maybe.

Roarke. Honey,
I went down the Gauntlet

when I was 18 years old
with two other guides,

experienced guides.

And we were just lucky.

But there were two other people that summer
who did not get so lucky.

One guy got killed,
and the other one is paralyzed for life.

Don't worry. We're
gonna hit some threes and some four-pluses,

and we will risk death a number of times
on this trip.

So you're gonna scream your guts out, you're
gonna be so happy.

Hey, look, Mom,
there's Wade!

Hello, the shore!

Hello, the boat!
Is everybody okay?

Yeah, I just
got a cramp!

We're trying
to work it out.

Hey, who's your
friend, Gail?

Oh, this is Tom,
Roarke's father.

Oh, no.
You didn't tell him about us, did you?

No.

Hey, Roarke!
Don't tell those fish we're comin'!

All right, let's bring a little line in,
okay? Ready?

We're gonna aim for that ripple
right over there. See?

10, two, 10, two,

10, release!

Then you let go
of your line.

Why don't you go ask your dad if he
wants to come over?

Hey, Dad,
you want to try this?

Not now!
Thanks, buddy!

Do you think he even
knows he left Boston?

Yeah, he knows.

But, you know, he took two planes and a charter
just to get here, so. . .

Let's give him a break.

Try it again.

Why are you on his
side all of a sudden?

I'm on everybody's side.
I'm the mother.

You got it! That's it.
Look, Mom !

You got a nice one, buddy.
He's a beauty.

Let's get him.
There he is.

Come here.
Come here, sweetheart.

Look, Daddy.
Oh, it's a monster.

You know, this is
the first time

we've all had dinner together since Mom's
birthday.

Hello, the Gail, Roarke,
and Tom family!

This is the Wade raft
passing you by!

Hey, Wade!
I caught two fish today!

First time
I ever fished !

Must be that
lucky hat!

Hey, Roarke,
if that hat's so lucky, I want it back!

Hi.

He's down.

Well, had a big day.

It's kind of warm.

That's the way
I like it.

Did you finish
your sketches yet?

No. No, I didn't.

And it's not
a sketch, Gail.

You know,
it's very important.

Very important, I know.

So, tomorrow. . .
What?

Could you just pretend to like it
here a little bit?

For Roarke's sake,
if not for mine.

I don't do too bad at pretending to like
your stuff, so. . .

Is that what you do?
Pretend to like my stuff?

No. You know,
that's not what I mean.

You don't have to.

And just don't.
And don't do me any favors, either.

I don't.

I won't.

Gail.

Listen, don't you
ever realize. . .

Let's just stop, okay?

You never. . .
Oh, please!

Whoa, it's cold !

Wow!

Hey, look, Mom !
Graffiti !

Oh, wow!

Those are pictographs.
They were made by people

who lived here thousands of years
before white men came.

So those
are their hands?

Well, those markings might've been made
by a boy your age,

while he was
on his vision quest.

See?

Are you sure there's
fish around here, Mom?

Over there, honey.

Right in the current.

Hey, there!

We've been
waitin' for you.

I should've suspected something when he had us
camp at the walk-out.

Frank and Terry'd been
arguing about Terry's sister most of the day.

Yeah, Frank used
to be married to my sister

until she realized
what a butthole he was.

Anyway, Frank said some things that he
shouldn't have said.

Yeah, and this morning,
we woke up back there and he was gone.

Why didn't you guys just follow him out,
walk out with him?

You know, that would have been the smart
thing to do, Tom,

but I didn't want to
give him the satisfaction, you know.

Besides, what he was doin' with the oars
didn't look that hard,

so we just
headed downriver,

and we saw this.

That's when we decided
to wait for you guys.

Wade said you used
to be a guide here.

Yeah.
Roarke, come back over here, honey.

Is there any way we could just
walk out of here,

like go up
the canyon and. . .

Well, you might,

but once you got up
to that canyon rim

and headed back to the ranger station,
there's a huge gorge.

You'd have to
walk around it.

I mean, even if you had
the equipment and knew what you were doing. . .

And where you were going,
it'd take you five or six days.

Looks like
we're stuck.

Well, we. . .

I could get you down
as far as Bridal Creek.

Yeah.

We wouldn't want
to be a burden.

Well,

it doesn't look like
you have much choice.

All right.

Anyway,
it's not as bad as it looks.

You just got to
stay to the right.

Maggie!

There's a really bad hole
on the left. Don't hit that.

No.

Come on, Mags!
Time to go!

Honey,
would you go up and get her?

Stay to the right,
and if you do go swimming, which you won't,

I promise,
but if you do,

point your feet downstream
and hold onto your jacket.

Make sure it's
buckled real tight.

Just let the current
take you.

Remember, you don't
command the river.

Let the river
command you.

Hey, I don't live my life
like that, and I don't think you do, either.

Maggie!

Maggie! Come!

Come on, girl !

Maggie!

Maggie, come.

What do you
got there, girl?

You all right, girl?

Maggie, come!

Come, Maggie!

Dogs.

Yeah.

Buckle your life jacket.
All right.

Stay to the right.

Just relax.
Relax, huh?

Yeah. Relax.

I want you to be
the best you can be.

Best I can be.

Let me get down there first.
I'll be waitin' for ya.

All right! Come on,
Maggie! Here we go!

Okay?

Tom, you better
put the map away.

We're gonna go through
our first whoop-dee-doos.

You might want to
take a secure seat.

What?
Here we go!

Hold on, Roarke!

Yes!

Here we go!

Whoa!

Wow!

Oh, great!
Oh, boy.

All right.

Here we go.

She said stay on the right,
remember?

You remember, right?
Oh, man.

She wasn't
playing around.

Go right.

Get us over, Wade!
Come on. We're spinning !

Oh, my God.

The right, Wade!
To the right!

Shut up!

Oh, my God ! They're on the wrong side!
He's way over!

Get over!
You gotta turn !

Turn ! There's a rock here!

Wade!

Get in the front! Get in the bow.
We're gonna pick 'em up!

Wade's lost
his jacket!

Wade can't swim !

He's back there!
He can't swim !

Pull him in !
Pull him in !

Get in the back.
We're goin' to him.

There he is!

Wade!
Hold on, buddy!

Wade!

He went under!

Wade!

Where is he?

Wade!
He's still under!

Get the throw bag,
Roarke! Hold on, Wade!

He's right there!

Here's the rope!
Over here, Tom !

You okay?
Wow, Dad !

Come on, man.
We got ya.

Tom !
Hey, Wade!

You almost drowned !

Wow! One of these days I have got to
learn how to swim.

You okay? Nice job.

I'm okay.

Oh, I got that.
I got it.

Okay.

I want to thank you, Tom.
You saved my life.

Oh, don't
worry about it.

You didn't have
to hit me, though.

Yes, I did.

Just turn it around.
Get it straight up and down.

Okay.
Pull out some.

Point that thumb where you want
the fly to go, okay?

Ten and two
and release.

At the top of the news.

The getaway car
believed to have been used

in the robbery of
the livestock auction

at the Flathead County Fairgrounds Sunday
was found abandoned

on a back road
near the Canadian border,

in the robbery that netted nearly a quarter
of a million dollars.

A security guard was killed and one of the assailants
was wounded.

What'd I do?

My dad's been telling
my mother for 30 years

that they're going to
rob this cattle auction.

And finally somebody did it.
Cattle auction?

He's gonna be very happy.
Yeah, on the radio.

They just. . .
Wow.

You guys known each other
a long time?

Me and Wade
go way back.

We just met Frank
in Tulsa.

I thought Frank was married to
your sister.

Oh, yeah.
She lives in Tulsa.

Oh.

So what do you do when you're not trying to
drown yourself on a river?

I'm a skier, ski bum.

Oh, yeah?

What about you?
What do you do?

I teach history at a school
for the deaf.

Tom is an architect.

I could tell
you were a teacher.

Little bossy?
No, no.

Ladies sure do like Wade.
Yeah?

Let's try again.
Ten. . .

Two, 10, two.
Yeah, sure do.

You keep trying to bring your
left hand up.

Hey, Tom.

I don't like
those guys.

I think we should leave them behind
tomorrow.

They're all right.
They're just those kind of guys

that just never got
over their adolescence.

There's lots
of them up here.

Why are you
defending him?

Who? Wade?

I'm not defending him.

Yes, you are.

You sound like
you're jealous.

I'm not jealous,

even though you did drape yourself
all over him.

I did
not drape myself.

That is the way you teach somebody
to fly cast, honey.

Oh, Gail.
He knew exactly what he was doing.

Well, you know, they did get in over their heads
and they lost their guide.

If something happened to me,
and you and Roarke were alone on the river,

I would want somebody
to help you.

I'm sorry, maybe I am
being a jerk about Wade.

But that still doesn't change that I just think
something's off.

Go get it, Maggie.

Bring it here.
Come on.

Good girl, good girl.

Go get it, Maggie.

Hey, Gail.
Hey.

I found a hot spring.

Yeah, isn't it great?

If you feel the water down here,
it's really warm.

Oh, man. People.
Go get it, Maggie.

Yeah.

Good, good girl.

Listen, I was
wonderin'. . .

What's the river like
below Bridal Creek?

Oh, it's really spectacular down there.
It's unbelievable.

Then how come people
don't go down there?

Well, you're not allowed to take rafts
down there anymore.

It's just. . . Rapids are unrunnable.
It's treacherous.

I bet you ran it though,
didn't you?

I did. I did.

I was 18 and
completely insane.

And I bet you'd like to do it again,
wouldn't you?

Mmm, no.

No, everything's different now.
I have kids and. . .

And a husband.

Yeah, and a husband.

And what if you didn't?

But I do.

Go get it, Maggie.

Hey, Ro!
I got another one for your collection.

Hi, Wade!
Hey, buddy.

But I got the
cigarettes, too,

so we had like ten cartons
of cigarettes and no beer.

I couldn't believe it.

Maggie.
Maggie, no!

Maggie, no!

Maggie, no.
Go lie down. Good girl.

So, Mom, what's this vision quest
thing you told me about?

Vision quest is. . .

Is when a boy
or a girl your age

from one of the tribes that used to live
around here. . .

Would go off for
about four or five days,

all alone without
food or anything,

and they'd go to one of their sacred places,
like, like where we were.

They'd wait there for a vision of
their guardian spirit

to appear to them.

'Cause they believed that that guardian spirt
would then

watch over them and protect them
all their lives.

And if you'd had a successful vision quest,
you'd do two things.

First, you'd send up
a smoke signal.

Smoke signal.

Yeah. That's so your folks
would know you're okay.

And then draw an image on the rocks just like
the ones we saw today.

I'll be right back.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Roarke

Happy birthday to you

Did you think we forgot?
Yeah.

It's from
your dad and me.

Mom ! Oh ! Hey, look,
guys, rollerblades! Are those the right ones?

Promise me you don't break your leg
the first week.

Nope.

And this is from
your baby sister.

It's a plastic camera.

It's a waterproof camera.

Roarke.

This is from Maggie.

Yeah, sure.

I think it might be something you can use
on the river.

Look at it!
It's a Swiss army knife! Great.

Thanks, Dad ! Look,
it's got everything !

Even the price.
Yeah.

How much is it?

Who wants some cake?
$79.95.

Hey, save me a piece!
Okay!

Hey, Wade.
Look what I got.

Oh, man, that's great.

Terry and I don't have anything that fancy,
but. . .This is from us.

Gee, uh, thanks,
you guys.

This is. . .

What is it?

What do you
got there, bud?

What is it, honey?

It's $200!

Now, that's so
in case you want to

see a concert or buy some CDs or whatever
you want to do.

That's your money.

It's too much money, Wade.
He can't accept that.

Hey, you guys are
savin' our lives.

I mean, this is just our way of showin'
our appreciation.

Can I, Dad?

It's too much
money, Roarke.

Thank you very much for the gesture.
But he can't accept it.

Roarke, give the money
back to him.

No! He gave it to me.
It's mine.

Roarke. Give the money
back to him right now.

What did you say?

I said, you didn't even
want to come on this trip!

Gee. I'm sorry, Tom.
I was just tryin' to be nice.

I talked to him.
He's okay.

You don't have to beat
yourself up over this.

You know, you did the right thing.
Oh !

It's very weird that. . .
Giving him that money.

I pretty much ruined
his birthday party.

Damn it.
Same old story.

Want to know
what I think?

I think that you spend
so much time at work

because you don't like
being around me anymore.

Gail, it's not
about that.

You set such high standards
for yourself.

Everybody around you.
I'm just trying to come up to your expectations of me.

I'm trying to make you
proud of me again.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, I'm sorry. . .

If I made you feel
you had to do that.

So. . . What does it mean?

What are we gonna do?

I think there's only
one thing we can do.

Are you making
a pass at me?

I don't know.
Is that what it's called this far outside of Boston?

This far inside
of marriage, you mean.

I think we're sufficiently alienated
for this to qualify

as a pass.

Mom !

Mom !

I'm going to
put him to sleep.

Mmm-hmm.

And I'll bathe.

It's okay, Maggie.
I'll be out in a minute.

They're so creepy,

but I don't want to make a big deal about it
or scare Roarke.

I just think we have
to get away from them.

Listen, tomorrow,
we'll act like nothing's happened.

And then we'll just
find a way to leave them behind.

Okay?
Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Bam ! Uppercut
right to his jaw.

Teeth went straight through his tongue,
bit it clear off. Blood showered.

It's lyin' on the ground.
Yak-yak-yak-yak! It's still talkin'.

One more bag
and we can go.

Okay, Roarke.
Come on, honey. Shut him up, though.

Hey, give me that.

Stow your fishing rod.
Let's go.

Come on, Maggie!

I don't want to go with you.
I want to spend the day with my friends.

Roarke! You get your little heinie
back here right now.

Oh, I'm sorry.
That's my fault, Gail.

I told him we could practice our fly fishing together.
You know, 10, two, 10, two.

Wade, it's too dangerous.You're not experienced enough to take him down the river.

If we get in trouble,
you're going to be there, right?

Yeah, Mom, this way our music
won't bother you either!

All right.

Yeah, but, Roarke,
at lunch you come back with us.

What did he say?
What? What?

Gail, stop
looking at them.

Sweetheart, sit down.

Sit down and relax.

Nothing's going to happen.
He's going to have a great time.

He'll listen to his music.
Then when we stop for lunch, we'll get him.

Then we'll lose them.
Gail, look at me.

Gail, look at me.
Everything's going to be all right.

Hey, Roarke.

Yep.

Can you keep a secret?

Terry, hand me
the green bag.

Wade.

Hand me the green bag.

Now, if I show you something,
promise not to tell anybody?

Sure.

Not even your
mom and dad?

I promise.

Wow.

What are you. . .

That's right.

First, you take out
the empties. See that?

"Three, five, seven."

In go the new ones.
A full load.

Can I hold it?

I don't think
your mom would like it very much.

My mom wouldn't care.

Really.

All right.

They're right there.

Be careful.
It's loaded.

Bang ! Bang !
Hey!

Hey.

Come on, man.

All right, all right.
Better give it back now. Come on.

Thanks, Wade.

Hey, what are
friends for?

Don't forget.
It's our secret.

Hey, what were you
and the guys talkin' about?

Hmm?

Things.
I'm goin' fishing.

Listen, if you want to catch anything
this time of day,

you're gonna have
to go around that big rock.

There's a little
eddy there.

There's some big fish
waiting for ya, honey.

I'll call you
when lunch is ready.

Take it up to that
flat area there.

There's a nice spring,
if you want to wash up.

Come on, Maggie.

Be careful on the rocks.
Just stay close to the shore downstream.

Okay!
Don't go where I can't see you.

I'll be right back.

Terry? Help me
with this, Terry.

Did you get
the drinks, Tom?

No, I didn't.

I'll go get them.

Oh, this looks
pretty great.

Oh, boy.

Ah, that's great.
You ought to try it.

I'll get a towel.

Oh !

Wade!

Oh, man !

Wade!

Come on !

Wade!

We're gonna make it.
We're gonna make it.

Roarke. Roarke. Reel it in, honey.
We're gonna find another place.

You said this was
a good place.

Just reel it in.
It's stuck.

Break it, damn it.
What are you doing?

I'll explain later.
Just get in the boat.

No!

I don't want to ride
with you ! I hate you !

Roarke!
Get in the boat!

What about Maggie?

Maggie! Maggie!
Roarke! Come here.

Come on, Maggie.
Come on, girl.

Hey.

What are you
guys doing?

We were just gonna go on
ahead and be by ourselves for a little bit.

Oh.

Yeah. It is our vacation and we haven't been alone
together all that much.

I thought you guys
were running out on us.

No. Uh-uh.

I think that's exactly what they
were doing, Terry.

You're right. We were.

It's just not
working out between us.

Why's that? Because your son wants to be
with me instead of you?

Roarke. Come here.

Look, I'm taking my family
and we're gonna go down the river alone.

That's what
we're gonna do.

I'm sorry.
We'll send somebody back to get you.

Who died and made you stud dick all of
a sudden, Tom?

You go get in
the boat right now.

Wade, rangers come down here
all the time.

You could hook up with one of them and get
to Bridal Creek ahead of us.

And what if I said
I'm not gonna let you go?

What would you do?

What would you do, stud?

Hey! What is he. . .

Just let him talk
to him for a second.

I don't want to fight with you, Wade.
Oh.

Wade!

I tried to be
nice to you.

I tried to be nice
to your family.

And what do you do?
You try and run out on me.

I'm drowning, Tom.

You wanna hit me?

I'm pulling you down, Tom.

Hit him, Dad ! Hit him !

Okay, we're even.
You hit me, I hit you. It's over.

Now, I'm taking my family,
and I'm leaving.

No, you're not.

Look out, Dad !
He's got a gun !

Roarke.

No! Damn it!

It's not gonna
be that easy.

Get off of her!

Get off me!

Get! Get!

Don't, Wade! Stop!
He's my dad ! Stop hitting him.

This is not
fun anymore.

Oh, God, no!
Wade!

Wade, please!
God, please, don't. . .

I need your wife to
get me down the river.

I need your son
to control her.

You and the dog
are expendable.

Right now, I think
I'll get rid of. . .

The dog.

No! Run, Mags, run !

Run, Maggie, run !
Run ! Run !

You got guts, Roarke.

But you shouldn't have
broken your promise about the gun.

Friends don't do that.

I thought you
were a nice guy.

I am a nice guy.

Just a different
kind of nice guy.

Damn, Terry.
Looks like we lose our deposit.

All right!

Now that I'm
head of the family,

here's what
we're gonna do!

We're gonna haul ass
down this river.

No more fishing.
No more sightseeing.

And unfortunately,
no more skinny dipping.

By the way, Gail,

you're gonna get another chance to
run the Gauntlet.

We're not stopping
at Bridal Creek.

What?

That's right. Now, come on.
Let's get this shit up the hill

and out of sight.
Let's go!

Roarke.

Were you taking
pictures of me?

Give me that camera.

Ow.

You know, it's really. . .
It's really dangerous to be tied into the raft like this.

If we flip, we'll just be
dragged under and drown.

It would be dangerous for me if you were to
flip us on purpose.

I could drown.

This just levels
the playing field.

Sure is pretty
country, isn't it?

What's in the
green bag, Wade?

It's the money, isn't it?
From the cattle auction?

You guys robbed the
cattle auction, right?

If we had, it'd be a pretty slow getaway,
wouldn't it?

Yeah. It's slow,
but it's smart, sort of.

This close to Canada,

they'd think you
jumped the border,

but instead you just go off road
for four or five days.

End up couple of
hundred miles downriver

where you have
a car waiting.

Couple of big problems,
though.

Frank and the Gauntlet.

Frank was supposed to take you down
the Gauntlet, right?

But what was he?
Wounded? So you had to finish him off.

Did you do it, Wade?
Or did you make Terry kill him?

Shut up!

So what's the big problem
with the Gauntlet anyway?

The Gauntlet is just. . .

It's not just the size
of the water, you know.

Although the three rivers
do all pour into that one canyon.

But it's glacier
water, so. . .

You know what
hypothermia is?

Probably not.

If the raft gets caught in there,
it gets sucked under the falls.

It's kind of like being in a washing machine,
you know.

You can just churn and churn and churn
in there till Christmas.

But swimming ability
is not the problem.

Swimming is
beside the point.

I'm sorry.

I just can't believe
this is happening to us now.

I can't believe you think
I can take you down there.

Mom? Mom, I'm hungry.

What?
I'm really hungry.

He's gotta have something to eat.
He can eat in the boat.

Yeah, well,
we can't pee in the boat.

Come on,
let's go up here.

Hello, the beach !

Hello, the canoe.

Terry, come on.
Get him up here.

Wade and Terry are
old family friends.

Remember,
Wade has the gun.

Come on. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.

How you doing, Officer?

Shoot. On a day like today?
Can't complain. How you doing?

Not too bad.

I been trying to catch you folks ever since I heard
you were on the river.

But the office told me there were
only three of you.

Been five right from the start.
Wanna see our tags?

No. I must've heard wrong.
You guys have been traveling along pretty quickly.

I was afraid you were
gonna get to Bridal Creek and be gone.

Well, Gail here
is our guide.

She just makes the
trip so interesting

that once she
shows us one thing,

we just naturally wanna
move on to the next as quick as we can.

I can believe that.
She sure made my life interesting.

I'm sorry.
Do I know you?

Well, on more than
one occasion you tried to get me into bed

before 9:00.

But usually you spent more
time with my older brother and his friends.

Johnny?
Yeah !

Oh, Johnny!

Oh ! How's Raymond?
And your folks?

Oh, my folks are fine.
Raymond lives outside of Boise now.

My brother and Gail,
they used to be the terrors of this river.

The little kids, my friends and I,
we used to call her Whitewater.

Whitewater, huh?

We never had nicknames
where I came from. Certainly not Whitewater.

White trash, maybe.

Now, the way I hear it,
it's worse in this country to be an Indian

than it is even
a black or a Mexican.

Is that right,
Ranger Johnny?

I'm Tom.
I, uh, I'm Whitewater's husband.

Really nice to meet you, Tom.
Nice to meet you.

What happened
to your eye?

Slipped on a rock and met up with a tree.
I hurt my knee, too.

Hi. I'm Terry.

Nice to meet you.
Friend.

And I'm Wade.
And this is Roarke, Gail's son.

Oh, hey, Roarke.
Nice to meet you, too.

You know, I was about your age when I first
knew your mom.

Well, now you've
met everyone.

I guess I have.

Well, I better be shoving off, then.
I'll see you.

So we'll see you at
Bridal Creek, then?

Oh, no, I gotta do a portage
up to Swanson Meadow and do a fish count.

Look, it was nice
seeing you again, Gail.

You guys take it easy.

That was real smart.
Real smart.

Oh, hey, I almost forgot.
Did anybody lose a camera?

Is it a yellow
waterproof one?

Yeah.

Toss that puppy
on up here, Johnny.

Catch.

Hey, Roarke!
Found your camera.

What do you say,
big man?

Thank you.

You all take it easy now.

Bye.

See you later.

You're a real smart man,
aren't you? Huh?

Get in the boat!

Get up! What do you think?
I'm some kind of idiot?

Sit down.
Put your hands together.

You can go right up there,
sweetie.

Sit in the middle.

That's Bridal Creek
up ahead.

That's the last take-out before
the Gauntlet.

Are Grandma
and Grandpa gonna be there?

No, sweetie.
They're not expecting us for two more days,

so they're
not there yet.

You still intend
to go on?

That's right.

Then can Terry row
for a little bit?

Can I get a break?

Sure.

Untie her.

Keep an eye on them.

You listen to me,
you little idiot!

I'm not bullshitting you about the Gauntlet.
It's big.

It's bigger than anything you've
ever seen.

And tomorrow, Wade,
you're gonna drown in it.

And the rest of us are gonna be hauled under
with the raft.

So I'm not gonna pretend that I give a shit about
you and your stupid friend

and your pathetic
small-time nothing life!

But I got everything
I care about in the world in this boat.

And I got my baby girl
waiting at the other end.

And I know
I cannot do this!

I cannot row this big water, man !
That's the truth.

I cannot do it!

You're an amazing woman.

I gotta
get some sleep.

Here. Wake me up at 1 :00.

What are you doing?

Terry's asleep.

I'm gonna get the gun.

No! No! You can't
do that. Oh, God !

You can't do that.
If they catch you again, they'll kill you.

They're gonna kill us anyway,
even if we get through the Gauntlet.

We have to do something.

Just listen.
Wait. Wait. Wait.

I was thinking about
Little Niagara.

It's a. . . It's a big drop
about two miles above the Gauntlet.

I can take the raft
in there sideways and flip us.

If we hold on to the D-rings,
we can catch the air pocket underneath,

and they'll
just be swept away.

Well, will that work?

It could work.
It could work.

God. What other option
do we have?

I'm gonna get the gun.

God.

If I don't make it,

you can still
flip the boat.

I love you, too.

Wade!

Give me the gun.

Stay here and watch them !

Tom !

Tom, are you up here?

I don't think
you're up here.

Shit.

Tom !

Tom !

I know you're there!

Tom !

Where are you?

Hey! There you are.

How does it feel to know you only have a few more
seconds left to live?

Sit down !

Damn.

I don't have a very good shot
from here, Tom,

so I'm gonna have to head
a little farther downriver.

You stay where
you are now.

There. That's better.

Now I'm gonna try
and hit you in the spine,

right between
the shoulder blades.

You ready?

Set.

What are they doing out?
Tie her in the tent.

Kid, too.

Where's my dad?
He's dead.

Dead?
Why'd you kill him?

He was trying to get away.
You killed my dad.

So what if he got away?
Where's he gonna go?

If we can't walk out,
how the hell is he gonna?

Do you wanna make
the decisions, huh?

Here's the gun.
Go ahead.

Hey, man.

When we started this thing,
you told me no one was gonna get hurt.

Now three people
are dead !

Whose fault is that?

Did I tell you to
frisk the guard? Huh?

Did I tell you to
frisk the guard?

If you'd have frisked the guard like I told you,
Frank would be alive.

If you'd stayed awake like I told you,
Tom would be alive!

Now shut your fat mouth
and tie them in the tent.

Oh, man.

Right now.
I will be right there.

No! No, Mommy!

You go with him.
Stop it!

Where is he?
I wanna see him.

Can't help you there.
He's in the river.

Well, then he might
still be alive.

I shot him, Whitewater.
He's dead.

I'm sorry.

No tears.

Things must've been worse between you
and Tom than I thought.

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm gonna kill you, Wade.

I don't think so.

I'm running the show.

I could bury you
and Roarke tonight.

I could do anything
I want with you.

So go ahead.

Don't keep telling me how tough you are, Wade.
Just show me.

Come on.

Do it.

Terry. Put her
in the tent.

Terry, get up.
Come on ! Get up! Get up!

Come on. Pack this shit up.
We gotta get out of here.

When you're done
with that, just grab those oars.

Forget the rest
of their stuff.

All right.
All right.

All right.
Come on. Let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Oh, Maggie! Maggie! You good girl, you !
Oh, it's good to see you !

Yes! Yes! Good girl !
Good girl !

Come on, girl.
Let's go.

Come on !

We gotta get ahead
of them, girl.

Hey. You wanna listen
to some music?

I have to go along with Wade.
He didn't mind going to jail.

He don't seem
to mind anything.

I can't go back
to jail, Roarke.

I don't care.

Terry, hand me that box
of cartridges, will you?

Hey, Wade!

Go, Mom !

We're gonna make it!

Gail.

Three left.

Okay, Mags, here's where
we get ahead of them.

Oh, go slow, Gail.
For once in your life don't be first.

That's it, Mags.
That's Little Niagara.

That's where she's
gonna flip the boat.

What?

Oh, shit.
What's that?

What's around the corner?

That? That's Little Niagara.

Get in the back
with the kid.

You're up.

Come on. Come on.

Come on !

Roarke. Put your
helmet on, buddy.

Come on.

Roarke!

What are you
doing? Wade!

They're talking
or whatever!

Hey!

What are you saying to him?
Hey, what did you say?

What are you doing?
What the hell are you doing? Huh?

I'm just getting
into position.

Look up, Gail.
Please, look up here.

Hang on, Terry.
Gail thinks she's gonna flip us.

But I don't think
she has the guts.

Mom.

Oh, yes!

Grab the oar!

Where'd he go?

Where is he?

I got it.
I got it.

He's right over there!

Pick him up!

We're stuck in the hole.
I'm trying to get us out.

What was that, Gail?
What happened with that oar?

I lost control.

I just completely
lost control.

What the hell was Frank
talking about?

He said this river shit
was gonna be easy!

I think Frank
had something else in mind.

Did you ever
think of that?

I bet Frank thought he'd just dump you two
somewhere along the line

and run the Gauntlet
with a nice, light boat.

Did he tell you
you'd have to work?

You guys are gonna have to throw your
weight and high side it

if we wrap around
one of these rocks.

You're gonna have to paddle hard
when I tell you.

And you're gonna have
to do what I say when I say it!

Otherwise, we got no chance in hell
of making it through.

And what makes you suddenly so anxious
to get us through?

I don't think you know me
well enough to determine

if I'm being anxious or
if I'm being efficient.

Let's grab the paddles and do some practice runs.
Get up front, Terry.

Do it!

All forward.
One! Two!

Dig it in, Terry.
You gotta pull your weight.

My neck hurts!

Oh, you're breaking
my heart. Let's go!

One, two. Left turn.

Come on. Dig it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, Gail !

Mags, we gotta get across.
Come on, girl !

Try it again.
Harder.

Dig it. One! Go together.
Two! Go together.

Three! Stay with it!

Mags, we don't have time
to look for a way down.

You think you can
do this, huh?

You think you can do this?
Okay, girl.

I love you, too.
Here we go.

You ready, girl?
We'll both go on three.

One, two, three.

Come on !

Come on, girl ! Maggie, come!
You can do it!

Oh, come on, girl !
No, don't go back! Maggie!

Come on, Maggie!
Oh, please!

Maggie! Come!

Maggie. Go!

That a girl !

Good girl ! You know,
that's the first time you've ever minded me.

Oh, good girl !

What are you doing?

I have to scout
the entrance to the Gauntlet.

This is the only place
I can do it from.

Terry, get in the back.
Get ready to secure the line.

Come on, Mags!

Let's go.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I'll take you
in a second.

That's it?

That's it.

Once you enter
that canyon,

there's no stopping
and no turning back.

The three rivers converge
and drop 295 feet

in a little over
a mile and a half.

Oh, shit!

Wade!

Now what?

That depends on you.

Now, if you love
your mama,

you're gonna keep your little mouth shut.
You hear me? You hear me?

Johnny!
Hey, Johnny!

Hello again.

What are you doing
down here?

Well, I heard someone went past the take-out
at Bridal Creek,

so I came down here
to see what's up.

Gail's giving me a look at the site
of her former glory.

Yeah. It's just as amazing as
I remember.

You aren't thinking about doing anything crazy,
are you?

Well ! To tell you
the truth. . .

Yeah, we. . . I've. . . I've always wanted to run the Gauntlet again, you know?

And Wade here will try anything,
so here we are.

Where's everybody else?
Your son and all them?

Tom and Roarke got out
at Bridal Creek with Terry.

Yeah, they're down below.
We're gonna meet them down there.

Geez! Well, Gail,
I can't let you do it.

Let us.

No way.
It's too dangerous. I'm gonna have to

radio for a helicopter
to come up here

and transport you and your raft
out of here.

Look, Gail, I hate
to be the bad guy here.

I'd like to try the Gauntlet myself,
but people aren't allowed to do it anymore.

You know I've run
this thing once before.

Yeah.

Why can't you just go away,
pretend you didn't even see us?

Oh, boy. . .

Johnny's right, Gail.

Besides, something tells me
Ranger Johnny might not be too good at pretending.

He said he always wanted to try
the Gauntlet.

I just gave him
his wish.

Put the kid
in the boat!

First we have to
unload some things.

Why?

We have to ride higher
in the water.

So I have to
rebalance the boat

so that you can paddle
in the front.

Now don't let go
of that rope. Ever!

And stay low
in the gunnel. Okay?

Okay.

Listen, before we do this,
I need to ask you a favor.

Please. . .
Please don't tie Roarke in the boat.

I'm sorry.
I can't do that, Gail.

I need you to be the best
that you can be.

Go ahead and let it go.
Indian Johnny won't be needing it anymore.

We can do this, Wade.
We can do it.

You just pull together,
paddle together. All right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Keep breathing.
Don't fall out.

I need you both in the boat
to make it down this thing.

Roarke? You okay?

Hold on tight.
Uh-huh.

You love your mommy?
Yeah.

Good boy.

Feel like going to Boston? Me, too.
Vacation's over.

What's that?
What's that noise?

This is where the first two rivers come together.
Straighten me out now.

Straighten me out now.

Whoa. Whoa, man.

Straighten it out.

We got the froth dead ahead.
We're gonna go left.

We're gonna hit that rock!
Get up, Terry!

Turn it!
Mom !

What do we do?

All right. Back!
Back paddle!

Left! Left!
Bring it around or we're gonna hit!

Left! Hard ! Terry!

Look out, Mom !
Hold your paddle!

Put your weight on it!

Keep paddling !
All forward ! Let's go!

Stay right in the middle!

Don't put me
in that hole!

Which way?

No, no, no!
Don't back paddle, Wade!

Oh ! We missed it!

We're going in.
Hold on, Roarke!

Wade! Wade!

Pull him in ! Grab him
by his jacket, Terry.

Pull him in !
We need him. Damn it!

Get in !

Grab your paddle.
Get back into position.

Pull ! Okay.
Left turn. Let's go.

Why?
We have to go this way.

There's a 40-foot drop
on the other side.

No! No.

You gotta line me
up good, boys.

Get ready!
Pull in your paddles!

Look out!

I got it.

Hang on !
We're gonna rejoin the main river.

Straight into it!

Are we going down that?

You bet!

No way, man !
I can't do this!

Mom.
Hold on, Roarke!

Hurry, Mom !

Take us out!

Paddle, Terry!

Oh, my God.

Keep me away from that wall !
Straight down the middle!

What do we do?
Are you nuts?

Get up!
Get up, Terry! Get up!

We're turning !
We're getting
sucked back in !

Are you okay, darling?

I'm okay, Mommy.

We made it!
We did it!

That was the Gauntlet, man !
We did it! Right?

Wade, we're
not done yet.

What?
That was the easy part.

Watch what you're
fucking doing !

We're losing it!

Back! Hard !
Push it!

Harder!

Bring her on down left!

I got it!

We get through this
and we're through.

We make it through this
and we're home.

We're almost. . .
Straighten it out!

We're getting
sucked back under!

Which way?

Back paddle!
No, Wade, back!

Grab the rope!

We're going under!

Backwards! Pull it!
Back! Back!

That's it! That's it.

We're out!

All right, Mom !

We did it!

Yeah ! Yeah !
We made it!

We made it!

Yeah, made it!

Back paddle!
What?

Back paddle!

What are you doing?
I'm a little tired.

Can you untie
Roarke now?

Sure. Why not?

Maggie!

Whoa!

Stay down !

Dad ! Get him !

Mom !

Gun.

Let go of him !
Let him go!

Hey! Terry!

No! No!

Pull that oar.
Keep pulling on it for me.

Pull it in hard.
Okay.

Hard !

Come on, my love!
All your might!

Come on, buddy!

Goddamn ! Terry!
Give me that goddamn money!

That bitch
broke my arm !

Stop!

Roarke, you take Maggie and run up to those
trees now! Go! Go!

Don't shoot, Gail !
No, no! Don't shoot! Come on, wait a minute!

Terry, back off!

Back off, goddamn it!
Gail, Gail, please.

I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm not gonna hurt Roarke.

I just needed you to get us down the river
and you did that.

And you could just let me and Terry
be on our way and. . .

You could go back to your family and. . .
Oh, please, Gail.

Come on now. You can't kill me.
You're not like that.

'Cause if you
kill me, Gail,

you're gonna spend
the rest of your life

wondering if you
had to kill me.

And there's no way. . .

There's no way
you're ever gonna know.

No way.

That's funny.

I thought there
was one left, too.

What am I talking
to you for?

Kill him, Terry.

Catch that kid
and kill him, too.

No!

Wrong, Wade.

There was a way.

Roarke!

Oh ! Untie me, honey.
Roarke's okay.

Oh, come on.

Oh, Roarke.
Oh, thank God.

Daddy!
Oh, thank God.

So were
you scared, Roarke?

Only of Wade and Terry.

But I wasn't scared
of the river.

I knew my mom could handle
the river.

And she brought you
through the Gauntlet by herself?

Yeah.

What about your father?
What did he do?

My dad?

He saved our lives.
