- NOW, DAVIE,
YOU CHANGE THOSE CLOTHES

BEFORE YOU PUT BABE AWAY.

NOW, WHO'S THIS?

MISS EFFIE, MISS LOU...

DAVIE.

GONNA BE ANOTHER HOT ONE.

YOU MADE A MIGHTY LONG RIDE

TO TELL US SOMETHING THAT
WE ALREADY KNOW, SHERIFF COFFEY.

- I'M AFRAID I WON'T HAVE
TO RIDE SO FAR NEXT TIME.

WE'RE LOOKING
FOR YOUR BLACK, BEN WOODS.

- WHY, BEN HASN'T BEEN
BACK HERE TO GRASSY

SINCE HE WENT OFF
TO THE WAR WITH CAPTAIN BURNIE.

- MR. CATRELL HERE SAYS
BEN RUN OFF

WITH SOME OF HIS BELONGINGS.

- THAT MAKES
MR. CATRELL A LIAR.

HOLD ON THERE.

IF BEN SHOWS UP,

PLEASE TELL HIM
I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM.

- WHAT DID HE MEAN HE WON'T
HAVE SO FAR TO RIDE NEXT TIME?

- OH, HE'S HEARD TALK
THAT WE MIGHT LOSE THIS PLACE.

- OH, EFFIE,
YOU SHOULDN'T TALK THAT WAY IN FRONT OF THE BOY!

OH, MERCY!

- WE'LL FIND A WAY
TO KEEP GRASSY, DAVIE.

(imitating bird chirping)

♪ ♪

- I BETTER GET CHANGED
AND GET BABE OUT OF THE SUN!

- AND THEN YOU'RE GOING
TO STUDY SCRIPTURES.

NOW GO ALONG, THADDEUS!

GO ON NOW!

I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!

- AW, COME ON! THAD NEEDS ME
TO HELP HIM DIG BAIT.

WE'RE GOING FISHING.

NOT TODAY YOU'RE NOT.

- MISS MILLINGTON SAID
YOU WERE STUMBLING ALL THROUGH ISAIAH.

(imitating bird chirping)

- DOESN'T THAT BOY
HAVE A HOME?

- NOW, GO ALONG NOW.
- HE'S GOT TWO!

HE'S GOT A SECRET TREE HOUSE,

AND MR. STARK
LETS HIM SLEEP IN HIS ROOF.

SO WHENEVER HE WANTS,
HE CAN GET UP AND WORK A BIT FIRST...

(imitating owl hooting)

THAD?

BEN!

BEN! OH!
BEN! OH!

- OH! OH!
- DAVIE!

- BEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU KNOCK
AT THE FRONT DOOR?

SHH!

I COULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCE.

- WHAT'S WRONG, BEN?
YOU IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE?

- IT'S TREASURE, DAVIE.
GOLD!

GOLD YOUR DADDY BURIED TO KEEP
SPANGLER FROM GETTING IT.

WELL, WHO'S SPANGLER?

THE DEVIL HISSELF.

NOW...

WHAT'S ALL THIS TALK
ABOUT A TREASURE?

- WELL, WE HAD JUST PUT DOWN
CARGO AT MOBILE

AND GOT PAID IN GOLD,

'CAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY MONEY
WORTH ANYTHING BY THEN.

AND CAPTAIN BURNIE

DECIDED TO MAKE ONE MORE RUN
TO THE BAHAMAS,

AND THAT'S WHEN
THE CUMBERLAND SPOTS US

AND STARTS CLOSING IN ON US.

- WAS THAT THAT YANKEE GUNBOAT
THAT SUNK THE FLORAL BEE?

- MM-HMM.
SPANGLER'S BOAT.

BUT CAPTAIN BURNIE WAS SMART.

HE TOOK THE FLORAL BEE
IN SHALLOW WATER

WHERE THE CUMBERLAND
COULDN'T GO.

AND THEN HE HIDE THAT GOLD.

- THEN IT'S STILL BURIED
SOMEWHERE?

- YES, MA'AM.
WAY OVER YONDER IN FLORIDA.

AND I GOT TO GET
JIM BURNIE AND--

JIM BURNIE...

WHAT DO YOU WANT
WITH THAT RAPSCALLION?

- BUT CAPTAIN BURNIE
TOLD ME THAT HIS BROTHER

WOULD HELP ME
TO GET THE GOLD FOR DAVIE

SO THAT DAVIE
WOULDN'T LOSE GRASSY.

- JIM BURNIE NEVER DID FINISH
ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE.

DO YOU NEED MONEY, BEN?

- WELL, I AIN'T GOT NONE,
MISS LOU.

- WELL, WE CAN LET YOU HAVE
A LITTLE.

LOU...

VERY LITTLE.

NOW...

JUST WHERE IS
THIS GOLD SUPPOSED TO BE?

- THERE WAS A MAP
THAT CAPTAIN BURNIE SENT HOME

BEFORE HE DIED.

- I NEVER SAW A MAP
IN CLAY'S THINGS.

IT'S IN THE BOOK...

THE ONE HE'S ALWAYS READING.

OF COURSE.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
ON THIS PAGE,

EXCEPT THE LITTLE
THAT HOMER WROTE.

- WELL, I AIN'T LYING,
MISS EFFIE.

THAT'S WHAT CAPTAIN BURNIE
TOLD ME BEFORE HE DIED

IN FORT DOUGLAS PRISON,
AND I SWEAR TO THE LORD ON THAT.

- WELL, YOU CAN SEE
FOR YOURSELF THERE'S NO MAP THERE.

AND, UH, WHO WAS THAT MAN
WHO CAME LOOKING FOR YOU TODAY?

- THAT'S ONE OF
SPANGLER'S MEN.

THEY THINK I KNOW WHERE
THE TREASURE IS, BUT I DON'T.

CAPTAIN BURNIE WON'T TELL ME.
HE SAYS IT'S FOR MY OWN GOOD.

HEY, LOOK!

MAYBE HE MEANT HOLD IT
OVER THE LAMP, LIKE THIS!

LOOK, THERE'S SOME WRITING!

"MATECUMBE KEY."

THAT'S AN "X"!

THAT MUST BE
WHERE THE TREASURE IS.

- THE CAPTAIN SAID
HE BURIED IT UNDER A TREE,

BUT HE DON'T SAY WHERE.

(suspenseful music)

♪ ♪

- DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING,
EFFIE?

OH, JUST THE WIND.

- WHAT ON EARTH?
- IT'S SPANGLER!

- OH!
- I KNEW IT!

(tapping)

IT'S HIM.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THIS HOUSE?

WE'RE AFTER BURNIE'S BLACK.

DON'T TELL US HE ISN'T HERE,
'CAUSE WE KNOW HE IS.

- MY SISTER AND MY NEPHEW
AND MYSELF LIVE IN THIS HOUSE.

AND YOU HAVE AWAKENED US
FROM A SOUND SLEEP.

NOW--NOW GET OUT OF HERE!

- YOU MAKE IT A HABIT
OF SLEEPING IN THE ATTIC?

(laughing)

- THEY'RE COMING UP.
BARRICADE THE DOOR.

DAVIE, COME HERE.

COME ON!

DAVIE!

DAVIE!

- OH, GET OUT OF THE WAY.
- WATCH YOUR HAND.

(banging)

- BEN!
TAKE HIM, BEN!

- COME ON!
- BEN!

BEN, THE MAP!

BREAK IT DOWN.

(screaming)

(screaming)

(loud ding)

EFFIE, I CAN'T!

- I'LL GET HIM.

AAH! AAH!

- (gunshot)
- AAH!

DAVIE...

DAVIE!

OH!

BEN?

THE MAP.

BEN?

- BEN?
- SPREAD OUT!

DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!

- AROUND THE SIDE THERE.
CHECK THEM BUSHES.

COME ON.

- YOU TWO, DOWN IN THE HOLLER,
CHECK THAT.

FIND THOSE BOYS.

- GIDDAP! YAH! YAH!
- GIDDAP! YAH!

(gunshots)

WHOA.

- AIN'T NOTHING
UP AHEAD, CAPTAIN.

THEY MUST'VE TURNED OFF
SOMEWHERE.

- WHAT THEM MEN WANT
WITH YOU, DAVIE?

I CAN'T TELL YOU NOW.

QUICK, HELP ME
TURN THIS BOAT OVER.

CAN I COME WITH YOU?

- I GOT A LONG WAY
TO GO, THAD.

- WHO I GOT TO GO
FROGGIN' WITH IF YOU GONE?

AND WE CAN'T CALL
A SECRET MEETING AT THE HIDEOUT

WITH JUST ONE MEMBER PRESENT.

- ALL RIGHT, HELP ME SHOVE OFF
AND CLIMB IN.

LOOK.

THIS OLD MAN SNYDER'S BOAT.

- WE'LL PAY FOR IT
WHEN WE GET BACK...

IF WE GET BACK.

- THAT'S THEM.
TOOK TO THE RIVER.

THEY HAVE TO COME ASHORE...

SOMETIME.

- YOU KEEP READING THAT MAP,
YOU GONNA WEAR IT OUT.

I'M JUST STUDYING IT.

- DAVIE, YOU REALLY THINK
YOU CAN FIND THAT TREASURE

WAY DOWN THERE IN FLORIDA?

IT'S A LONG WAY FROM KENTUCKY.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I'M SURE GONNA TRY.

MAYBE THERE'S ENOUGH GOLD

TO KEEP THE CARPETBAGGERS
FROM GETTING OUR PLACE.

- WHERE'D YOU LIVE
IF THEY'S TO GET GRASSY?

- I KEEP THINKING
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

TO AUNT EFFIE AND AUNT LOU.

THEY'VE ALWAYS LIVED THERE.

- YOUR AUNT EFFIE AND AUNT LOU
SURE WOULD BE SURPRISED

IF YOU WAS TO FIND IT,
WOULDN'T THEY?

DAVIE...

IF THOSE MEN CATCH UP WITH US,

THEY MIGHT KILL US,
SAME AS BEN!

- I STILL WOULDN'T TELL THEM
WHERE THE TREASURE IS.

- NOT EVEN
IF THEY WAS GONNA KILL YOU?

THEY COULDN'T MAKE ME.

ME NEITHER, DAVIE.

I LIKED BEN.

LET'S TAKE A SACRED OATH.

- WE'LL NEVER TELL.
- NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

NO MATTER WHAT.

QUICK, THAD,
IT'S A STERNWHEELER.

IT'S LIKE
A BIG PLANTATION HOUSE.

- JUST FLOATING
DOWN THE RIVER.

YOU THINK THEY'LL LET US
ON THERE, DAVIE?

- WHY NOT?
WE GOT MONEY.

COME ON.

- HOW MUCH IS IT
AS FAR AS FRIARS POINT?

- WHAT CLASS, SON?
- SIR?

- WELL, IT'S $5 FOR
CABIN CLASS, $3 FOR BOILER, $2 FOR THE DECK.

- TWO DECKS, PLEASE,
FOR ME AND HIM.

- THERE YOU GO.
AFT, BOYS.

STRAIGHT BACK THERE, NOW,
RIGHT THROUGH THE PASSAGE--

ANY SPOT
THAT LOOKS COMFORTABLE.

(laughs)
OH, HOWDY, FOLKS.

- IS THAT WHERE WE'RE MEETING
HIM--FRIARS POINT?

- UNCLE JIM NEVER
STAYS ANYWHERE TOO LONG,

BUT THAT'S WHERE HE WAS
LAST TIME HE WROTE AUNT EFFIE.

SHE CALLS HIM A BLACK SHEEP.

- YOU THINK YOUR UNCLE
WILL HELP YOU, DAVIE?

SURE, IF HE'S NOT TOO BUSY.

I GUESS MY UNCLE JIM
CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

- ANYTHING?
- THAT'S WHAT I SAID, ANYTHING.

(cow moos)

(sniffs)

(chickens clucking)

YOU SUPPOSE HE MEANT HERE?

- I SLEPT ON WORSE
THAN THIS BEFORE.

HEY!

LITTLE BOYS...

WHO KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM

DO NOT SIT ON BALES
OF COTTON SPYING ON LADIES WHAT'S HIDING.

WE WASN'T.

- WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
YOU WERE HERE.

- OH, JUST A MINUTE,
GENTLEMEN.

I'M CAPTAIN BOOMER.
YOUR FARES, PLEASE.

- I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
MY SISTER'S ABOARD THIS BOAT.

- NOT HAVING HAD THE PLEASURE,
I COULDN'T SAY.

- SHE'S ABOUT 5'6",
SHE'S WEARING A WEDDING DRESS.

- NO ONE WEARING A WEDDING
DRESS BOARDED THIS BOAT,

I CAN ASSURE YOU.

- SHE WOULDN'T BUY A TICKET
FROM THE CLERK, YOU FOOL.

SHE'S A STOWAWAY.

SHE HASN'T GOT
A RED CENT ON HER.

SHE'S TRYING TO GET
TO NEW ORLEANS.

- IF I FIND HER, SHE'LL BE
PUT ASHORE LIKE ANY STOWAWAY.

MEANWHILE, GENTLEMEN,
YOU HAVE EXACTLY TWO MINUTES

BEFORE WE CAST OFF.

- NOT TILL I FIND THAT
HANDFUL, YOU'RE NOT.

- IS THE BIG, UGLY ONE
YOUR HUSBAND?

- NO.
AND HE'S NOT GOING TO BE.

I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY
THAT YANKEE'S GOT.

- THEY COME LOOKING
FOR YOU IN HERE,

THEY'RE GONNA FIND YOU
FOR SURE.

- I KNOW, WE'LL HIDE YOU IN
WITH THE ANIMALS.

(animals chattering)

I COULDN'T.

- IF YOU DON'T,
YOU GONNA GET MARRIED.

- BUT LAURIETTE MIGHT HAVE HAD
A CHANGE OF HEART, FARROW.

- NONSENSE!
SHE'S NERVOUS, THAT'S ALL.

WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT
ON THEIR WEDDING DAY.

DID YOU SEE A LADY IN A
WEDDING DRESS COME THROUGH HERE?

ANSWER ME
AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT.

- WHAT WOULD A LADY BE DOING
DOWN HERE?

AND LET GO OF MY ARM!

- PERHAPS WE SHOULD GET
BACK TO THE GUESTS

AND EXPLAIN THERE'S BEEN
A POSTPONEMENT.

TO BLAZES WITH THE GUESTS!

WHAT ABOUT BACK THERE?

(animals chattering)

- MOST BRIDES WOULD BE RATHER
CONSPICUOUS AMONG THE LIVESTOCK.

BUT THEN, I'VE NEVER SEEN
YOUR SISTER, SIR.

(clucking)

- AH!
(clears throat)

(horn blows)

LET'S--LET'S LOOK UPSTAIRS.

- NOT UNLESS YOU BUY PASSAGE
AS FAR AS COAHOMA, GENTLEMEN.

OTHERWISE,
YOU'RE GOING TO SHORE,

AS WE'RE SHOVING OFF
IMMEDIATELY.

THEY'RE GONE.

OH.

OH. LORD.

(horn blowing)

(sighs)
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW--

IF YOU WANT IT, NANNY,

IT'S YOURS TO CHEW.

I PRESUME...

ONE CAN GET
TO THE LADIES' CABIN FROM HERE.

IF THAT DON'T BEAT ALL.

COULD'VE AT LEAST SAID,
"GOOD DAY."

(sniffs)

(bell dinging)

WE'RE GONNA GET IN TROUBLE
FOR BEING UP HERE, DAVIE.

- THEY CAN ALWAYS SEND US
DOWNSTAIRS.

HEY, THAD, LOOK!

- HEY, AIN'T THAT
THAT SAME LADY?

- YEAH.
WHAT'S SHE DOING IN THERE?

- I'M NOT LOOKING
TO STEAL YOUR MONEY,

I'M LOOKING TO WIN IT
ON THE UP AND UP.

VERY GOOD, SIR.
NOW WATCH CLOSELY, SIR,

AS I TAKE TWO RED ACES
AND THE BABY CARD.

I PICK THEM UP SLOWLY,
LIKE THIS.

PUT THEM DOWN ON THE TABLE,

AS ALL I WANT YOU TO DO
IS TO TELL ME WHERE'S THE BABY.

OOH, HE PICKS THE MIDDLE CARD.

I'M SORRY, SIR.
YOU WERE CLOSE TO IT.

IT WAS RIGHT BESIDE
THE BABY CARD.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BET, FOLKS,

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T
SPECULATE, YOU CAN'T ACCUMULATE.

AND REMEMBER,
I DON'T TAKE BETS

FROM PAUPERS, STRIPPERS,
OR GRANDMOTHERS.

- WELL, SINCE I'M NONE
OF THOSE,

WOULD IT BE PERMISSIBLE
IF I BET?

UNLESS, OF COURSE, CAPTAIN,
YOU HAVE SOME REGULATIONS

- AGAINST IT.
- OF COURSE NOT.

IT'S JUST THAT WE RARELY HAVE
THE LADIES VISIT US

HERE ON THE TEXAS DECK.
(chuckles)

AND...

WHAT GAME IS THIS?

- OH, THIS IS
A VERY SIMPLE GAME.

IT'S CALLED THREE-CARD MONTE.

NOW, WHAT I DO IS I PLAINLY
DISPLAY THESE THREE CARDS--

TWO RED ACES AND A BABY CARD.

I TAKE THEM,

AND I PLACE THEM ON THE TABLE
FACEDOWN LIKE THAT.

THEN I REARRANGE THEM THUSLY.

NOW, REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT
A TRICK OR A HUMBUG.

IT'S ALL ON THE UP AND UP.

THE IDEA OF THE GAME
IS FOR YOU TO SEE

IF YOU CAN PICK OUT
THE BABY CARD.

AND IF YOU PICK OUT
THE BABY CARD,

IF YOUR EYE
IS FASTER THAN MY HAND,

YOU'RE GONNA
TAKE ALL MY MONEY.

- OH!
THAT DOES LOOK LIKE FUN.

- HOW MUCH
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BET?

MAKE IT EASY
ON YOURSELF, LADY.

WELL, I HAVE NO IDEA.

IS UM, OH, $500 ENOUGH?

(gasps)

- $500!
SHE DON'T HAVE NO $500.

SHE DON'T HAVE NO FIVE CENTS.

- WELL, I'LL HAVE TO SEE
THE COLOR OF YOUR MONEY, LADY.

AND REMEMBER,
THEM JEFF DAVIS DOLLARS

DON'T GO VERY FAR THESE DAYS.

(laughing)

- SIR, YOU ARE ADDRESSING
A SOUTHERN LADY.

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE BEFORE
QUESTION MY VERACITY.

- THE LOSER
BETTER BE ABLE TO PAY UP.

ALL CHEATERS AND WELSHERS
ON MY BOAT--

SOUTHERN LADIES OR NOT--
GET PUT OFF ON A SANDBAR.

YOU SEE THAT?

THAT MUST BE THE BABY CARD.

SHE'LL NEVER FIND IT NOW.

- SHE GONNA BE IN BIG TROUBLE
WHEN SHE CAN'T PAY UP.

ALL RIGHT, NOW.

NOW, YOU WATCH REAL CLOSE,

'CAUSE I'M GONNA DO IT
REAL SLOW FOR YOU

BECAUSE YOU'RE
SUCH A PRETTY LADY.

NOW HERE I GO.

I'M GONNA PUT THEM DOWN
LIKE THAT SO SLOW,

AS ALL I WANT YOU
TO DO IS TO TELL ME,

WHERE'S THE BABY?

OH.

OH, WELL, LET ME SEE NOW.
UM...

THAT--NO, UM, THIS ONE.

AH! I JUST CAN'T BRING
MYSELF TO LOOK.

WHY DON'T YOU TURN OVER
THE OTHER TWO CARDS?

- THAT--THAT'S NOT THE WAY
THE GAME IS PLAYED, LADY.

(laughter)

WELL...

IF THIS IS...IS AN ACE...

(laughter)

AND IF THIS IS AN ACE...

(laughter)

WELL, THEN THE THIRD CARD
HAS TO BE A BABY.

IT'S JUST SIMPLE LOGIC,
ISN'T IT?

SIR, IF I UNDERSTAND THE GAME,
YOU OWE ME $500.

(laughter and applause)

ISN'T THIS EXCITING?

(laughter)

- THIS DIAMOND RING
IS WORTH WELL OVER $100.

IT'LL MORE THAN
TAKE CARE OF THE BALANCE.

- OH, NO, I HATE
TO DO THAT TO YOU.

OF COURSE, I'D HATE TO HAVE
YOU PUT OFF ON A SANDBAR.

(chuckles)

NOW...WHY DON'T WE SHOW
THESE GENTLEMEN THE BABY CARD?

- NO, NO, NO,
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

WELL, GENTLEMEN...

THE GAME IS OVER.

GOOD DAY.

- CAPTAIN, I'VE BEEN MEANING
TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT MY ACCOMMODATIONS.

I'D LIKE SOMETHING...
A LITTLE BIGGER.

OF COURSE.

SAY, BY ANY CHANCE,
YOU WOULDN'T BE--

NO, I WOULDN'T BE.

BYE! BYE!

BYE. BYE NOW. BYE.

(bell clanging)

HUH! MY MAP!

HEY, GIVE ME THAT BACK!

GIVE ME THAT!
IT'S MINE!

HELP! THIEF!

NO!

STOP! THIEF!
HE'S GOT MY MONEY!

SOMEBODY STOP HIM!

HELP, HELP!
HE STOLE MY MONEY!

ROBBER!

- HEY! HOLD ON, NOW.
HOLD ON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOIN--AAH!

HELP!

- DON'T WORRY!
I'M COMING.

DAVIE, LOOK OUT!

- AAH!
- AAH!

(coughing and sputtering)

HERE I AM...

50 MILES FROM SKUNK JUNCTION

WITH A DRESS
THAT LOOKS LIKE A POT CLEANER.

TO SAY NOTHING OF MY $400.

IT JUST FLOATED ALL AWAY.

AND ALL BECAUSE
OF SOME CURSED QUIRK OF FATE

THAT KEEPS HAVING ME THROWN IN
WITH THE TWO OF YOU.

- WE WERE
JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU.

- TWO CANNONBALLS
WOULD'VE BEEN MORE HELP.

WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING
ON THAT BOAT ANYWAY?

WE'RE GOING TO A KEY.

DOWN BY FLORIDA.

THAT'S ALL WE CAN TELL YOU.

- NOW, I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THIS NONSENSE...

LOOK AT ME!

I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME AND
GIVE ME SOME STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

- IF YOU PUT ON SOME CLOTHES,
WE COULD LOOK AT YOU.

WELL, NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT.

WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING
ON THAT RIVER?

- SO WE SWITCHED
OLD MAN SNYDER'S BOAT

BEFORE SPANGLER
COULD CATCH US.

- SPANGLER?
- THE DEVIL HISSELF!

(laughing)

DO YOU STILL HAVE THIS MAP?

- THE ROUSTER
THREW IT OVERBOARD.

WHAT WAS IT A MAP OF?

- WE CAN'T TELL YOU
THAT, MA'AM.

IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

- BUT SINCE
YOU TRIED TO HELP US

AND YOU LOST
ALL YOUR MONEY AND EVERYTHING,

WELL, IF WE FIND
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR,

WE'LL SEE
THAT YOU'RE AMPLY REWARDED.

THAT'S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.

- IF YOU NEVER PLAYED
THAT THREE-CARD MONTE BEFORE,

HOW COME YOU KNOW
HOW TO WIN THAT MAN?

- IF THERE'S ONE THING
I LEARNED FROM MY BROTHER,

IT'S HOW TO SPOT A CHEAT.

HOWDY!

WHOA.

- HOW FAR IS IT
TO THE NEXT TOWN?

- COAHOMA IS SEVEN MILE
THAT WAY.

SEVEN MILES.

WOULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH
TO CARRY US THERE?

- ANY FOOL CAN SEE
I AIN'T GOING THAT WAY.

AND IF I WAS,

I WOULDN'T HAUL MY OWN KIN
SEVEN MILE FOR NOTHING.

PERHAPS...

YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN SELLING
THIS HERE MULE AND RIG?

YOU GOT MONEY?

NOT ON MY PERSON, NATURALLY.

NOT ENOUGH TO BUY
A FINE ANIMAL LIKE THIS.

I'D HAVE TO LEAVE SOME SORT
OF COLLATERAL TILL THE, UH--

TILL THE BANK LEAVES MY DRAFT.

YOU MEAN A SWAP?

(kids laughing and yelling)

WHOA!

- WHAT ARE WE
STOPPING HERE FOR?

JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME.

COME ON.

MA'AM.

(clears throat)

SHERIFF.

I HAVE TWO RUNAWAY BOYS
TO LEAVE WITH YOU.

- WHAT?
- WELL, DAVIE,

YOU DIDN'T EXPECT ME
TO BELIEVE THAT WILD STORY

ABOUT MAPS AND WHATNOT.

- BUT, MISS LAURIETTE!
- IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

YOU'LL BOTH THANK ME WHEN
YOU'RE BACK WITH YOUR PARENTS.

WHERE ARE YOU BOYS FROM?

UP NORTH OF HERE.

BUT WE DIDN'T REALLY RUN AWAY.
I MEAN, NOT BECAUSE--

- IF THEY DON'T TELL
YOU WHERE THEY'RE FROM,

YOU JUST PUT OUT
A FUGITIVE NOTICE ON THEM.

SOMEBODY WILL KNOW
WHO THEY ARE.

- YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
SPANGLER WILL SEE IT!

- HA! DAVIE, IF I HEAR
ABOUT SPANGLER ONE MORE TIME...

- NOW, NOW, YOU BOYS BETTER
COME ON BACK HERE WITH ME.

- YOU CAN'T PUT US IN JAIL.
- IT AIN'T JAIL.

IT'S WHAT WE CALL
PROTECTIVE CUSTODY.

COME ON, BOYS, JUST TILL
YOUR FOLKS COME TO CLAIM YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
IN HERE.

(keys jingling, door locks)

NOW, MA'AM...

IF YOU COULD JUST WRITE DOWN
A FEW THINGS

YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BOYS--
YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU FOUND THEM,

THEIR AGES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

- AAH!
- HELP! HELP!

OW, MY ARM!

- IT'S THAD!
HE'S BEEN BIT BY A SPIDER!

- OW, IT WERE A TARANTULA,
I SEEN IT.

IT WAS AS BIG AS A JAWLIT.

CRAWLED IN UNDER THERE.
IT MUST'VE HAD EIGHT LEGS.

I JUST BET.

OW, OW, MY ARM!

(loud whining)

- LET ME SEE, COME ON.
COME ON, LET ME SEE IT.

OW, OW!

WAIT!

DAVID BURNIE,
YOU COME BACK HERE!

RESISTING ARREST IS A FELONY.

- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS,

BUT WE'VE BEEN IN
WORSE TROUBLE THAN THAT FOR THREE DAYS.

(dogs barking)

- I'D LIKE TO GET MY HANDS
ON THOSE TWO.

THANKS, LAMAR.

THEM JUST BOYS WHO NEED
A LITTLE GUIDANCE, THAT'S ALL.

- THEY DON'T LACK
FOR IMAGINATION, I'LL TELL YOU--

ALL THAT NONSENSE
ABOUT SECRET MAPS AND PEOPLE GETTING KILLED.

THEY TOLD ME
THE BIGGEST PACK OF LIES

SINCE THE CARPETBAGGERS
CAME DOWN HERE.

HA!
(laughter)

HEY, SHERIFF.

ANY IDEA WHERE THOSE TWO
RASCALS MIGHT BE HEADED?

- OH, THEY'LL PROBABLY KEEP
TO THE RIVER.

MOST FUGITIVES DO.

GOOD PEOPLE OF BOSKY DELL,

YOU ARE ALL FAR SICKER

AS ALWAYS,

IN THE CHOCTAW TONGUE,

AND DEDICATED TO THE LATE,
GREAT CHIEF WAWATUSSE.

I AM INDEBTED
TO THIS GREAT CHIEF

AND TO THE WHOLE

WHAT'D THEY DO FOR YOU?

WHAT DID THEY DO FOR ME?

TRUSSES.

IF YOU ARE NOT REJUVENATED

WITH NEW STRENGTH,
NEW VIGOR...

WHOA.

- WITHIN 24 HOURS
OF RECEIVING THESE TRUSSES,

YOU'LL GET
DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK

AND 5 CENTS OF THE 10 CENTS
FOR THE INSTRUCTION BOOKS.

AHA!
THERE WE ARE.

IF ANY OF YOU HAPPEN TO BE
INTERESTED IN THE LONG LIFE,

YOU'D DO WELL TO INVEST

IN DOCTOR SNODGRASS'
FEVER, AGUE, AND LIVER PADS.

THEY'RE THE ONLY KNOWN CURE
FOR MALARIA,

DYSPEPSIA, ACHING JOINTS,
DUST MITES--

WHAT TRIBE YOU FROM AGAIN?

UH...CHOCTAW.

UH, COME AGAIN?

YOU HEARD THE MAN, CHOCTAW.

(chanting)

- I WISH YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU
ARE RECEIVING THESE AT COST.

SWIFT DEER, BRAVE BEAR...

PERHAPS YOU'D RUN BACK

AND FIND US SOME MORE
OF OUR MIRACLE MEDICINE.

(speaking nonsensically)

AH, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW
THEIR OWN LANGUAGE,

DO THEY, DARLING?

INCORRIGIBLE.

AND YET, YOU KNOW ANYONE
WHO LOVES CHILDREN LOVES THEM.

- GOT TO HURRY
SO DR. SNODGRASS WON'T LOSE THE CROWD.

(loud knocking)

- DON'T BREAK IT DOWN.
I'M COMING.

YES, MA'AM?

- ARE YOU THE LAW
IN THIS TOWN?

- DOES THAT LOOK LIKE
IT COME OFF A CHRISTMAS TREE?

- WELL, SHERIFF,
WHILE YOU SLEEP AWAY

THE BETTER PART OF THE DAY,

YOU HAVE IN YOUR MIDST
TWO RUNAWAY BOYS

DISGUISED AS INDIANS
WHO HAVE FALLEN

INTO THE HANDS OF A CHARLATAN,
AN OBVIOUS FRAUD

WHO IS HOGSWOGGLING
THE CITIZENS OF THIS TOWN

WITH WORTHLESS CONTRAPTIONS

AND USELESS CONCOCTIONS.

- IS HIS NAME SNODGRASS?
- THAT'S THE ONE.

- I BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS SLICK BOOT.

YOU WAIT TILL I GET
MY HANDS ON HIM.

WHERE IS HE?

- THAT LITTLE STREAM
JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

YOU'LL HEAR HIM
BEFORE YOU SEE HIM.

SHERIFF, TELL ME, WHERE CAN
I SELL THAT MULE AND RIG

AND GET MYSELF
A STEAMSHIP TICKET

AND SOME KIND
OF A DECENT DRESS?

FRANK CAGNEY DEALS IN MULES.

NOW, IF YOU WANT TO GET
YOURSELF A STEAMSHIP TICKET,

YOU GOT TO GO DOWN THE RIVER
TO START A FIRE,

JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

SOMETIMES IT START,
SOMETIMES IT DON'T.

THERE'S A DECENT
DRY GOODS STORE AROUND THE CORNER.

YOU JUST WAIT TILL I GET
MY HANDS ON THAT SNODGRASS.

HE AIN'T GONNA
NEVER HOGSWOGGLE ANYBODY ANYMORE.

I GUARANTEE YOU THAT.

- CAN YOU ALL SEE
AT LEAST THE BOX?

(chuckles)

WELL, NOW, OBVIOUSLY
THE LAST THING I WISH TO DO

IS TO FIT GLASSES TO THOSE
WHO HAVE NO NEED FOR THEM.

- NO, NO.
- HEY, YOU!

SHERIFF FORBES,

WELL, THIS
IS PROVIDENCE INDEED.

DON'T YOU PROVIDENCE ME.

LAST YEAR YOU SOLD ME
AN ELECTRIC BELT

GUARANTEED TO RESTORE
MALE VIGOR,

AND ALL I GOT OUT
IS A CASE OF HIVES.

(murmuring)

- (laughs)
OH, SHERIFF FORBES.

UH-UH.
(chuckles)

- NEXT TIME YOU GET TO FALL
OUT OF THE TREE.

THAT SPOOJU JUICE
TASTES AWFUL.

- REMEMBER
WHAT DR. SNODGRASS SAY.

DON'T SCRATCH OR DO NOTHING,
EVEN IF YOU GET AN ITCH.

- ALL RIGHT.
GET GOING.

- NOW THAT MY LIVER PADS
HAVE CALMED YOUR IRASCIBILITY,

WE'LL PROCEED
WITH YOUR EYE TEST.

WOULD YOU DO ME THE GOODNESS

OF READING THE FIRST LINE,
PLEASE?

E, B, F, G, K.

CORRECT.

(positive murmuring)
SECOND LINE, PLEASE.

R, S, M, T, 1.

THAT IS "I."

(laughter)

STILL, IT'S VERY GOOD.

THE THIRD LINE NOW, PLEASE.

A, H, P, C, Y.

EXCELLENT.

FOURTH LINE.

THERE AIN'T NO FOURTH LINE.

HOW VERY STRANGE.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS
THIS MORNING.

YOU MAY BE RIGHT.

NO FOURTH LINE?
(all gasping)

UH, TRY THESE RUGGED,
MASCULINE GLASSES--

NOTHING AT ALL INTELLECTUAL
ABOUT THEM.

IF THERE'S ANY ADJUSTMENT,
WE CAN DO IT LATER

IF THE EYELASHES
HAPPEN TO CATCH THE LENS.

(mutters)

I CAN SEE IT PLAIN AS DAY.

M, H, R, T, A.

- M, H, R, T, A.
(all gasping)

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL!

- YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE,
MY FRIENDS, OF THE BURDENS

WHICH SO MANY OF US CARRY
UNNECESSARILY THROUGH LIFE.

I HOPE YOU REALIZE NOW,
SHERIFF FORBES,

WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING
FOR SO LONG.

NO FOURTH LINE.

(audience aws)

- MISTER!

D.C.M.P.P.H.U.

BUT DO NOT
DISTURB ME NOW, SON.

- THERE'S A BOY
WHO FELL OUT OF A TREE.

WELL!

I THINK HIS BACK'S BROKE.

HIS BACK IS BROKEN?

MEDICAL ETHICS
WILL NOT PERMIT ME TO TARRY,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

NO, I NEED NO HELP.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.

THANK YOU.

OOH.

WHY, THEY'D HAVE KILLED US ALL
FOR A $5 PIECE.

WHAT WERE THEY AFTER?

DAVIE, I THINK THAT YOU OUGHT

YOU TELL HIM YOUR PROBLEM.
MAYBE HE CAN HELP YOU.

- UNCLE JIM CAN DO
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

HE ONCE STARTED A SALT FACTORY
BY THE OCEAN.

BUT THE DAM BUSTED,
AND ALL THE SALT WASHED AWAY.

AND HE HAD
HIS OWN RAILROAD ONCE.

BUT IT WAS BUILT OVER A BOG,
AND A WHOLE TRAIN DISAPPEARED.

- SOUNDS LIKE YOUR UNCLE
HAS THE MIDAS TOUCH.

- WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT,

BUT I GUESS
MY UNCLE'S JUST ABOUT FAMOUS.

- I CAN ONLY TELL YOU
THAT I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION

AFFIDAVITS FROM SOME
OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

IN THE LAND,
TESTIFYING TO THE FACT

THAT ONE SINGLE BOTTLE
OF SPOOJU JUICE

RESCUED THEM AFTER YEARS
OF THE MOST INTOLERABLE PAIN.

- YOU'LL FIND JIM BURNIE
DOWN YONDER.

BUT IF YOU ALL WANT
TO TALK TO HIM,

YOU'LL HAVE TO HURRY.

- SIR?

IS MR. BURNIE GOING SOMEPLACE?

ONE WAY OR 'TOTHER HE IS.

(arguing gets louder)

- MAYBE IT'S A REVIVAL MEETING
OR A GOING-AWAY PARTY.

MAYBE IT ISN'T.

IT'S A LYNCHING.

YES, SIR.

UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO FRIARS POINT?

- WE'RE ALL HEADED
DOWN THE RIVER TO NEW ORLEANS,

I'M AFRAID I'M TIED UP.

WHO'S WE?

- ME, MISS PAXTON,

BURNIE, I HOPE YOUR CARCASS

WILL BE A WARNING
TO THE NEXT MAN.

NO!

SLAY ALL THE TRAITORS.

SHALL VENGEANCE WREAK

TILL BLOOD SHALL FLOW

THROUGH EVERY CREEK.

TO BE YOUR KLAN CLAPTRAP.

GRANT ME A LAST WISH.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

GLAD TO OBLIGE.

LET THIS BE A LESSON

TO THE NEXT DO-GOODER
WHO TRIES TO POKE HIS NOSE

IN OUR BUSINESS.

NEXT TO THIS TREE HERE.

- UH-UH, BY THIS ONE.

- IT'S KIND OF HARD TO KEEP
THINGS STRAIGHT IN YOUR HEAD.

MUST BE SOMETHING THERE,

OR THIS SPANGLER
WOULDN'T BE AFTER IT.

- WELL, BEN SAID
IT WAS REAL VALUABLE.

YOU CAN FIND IT,
CAN'T YOU, UNCLE JIM?

- IT'S A NEEDLE
IN A HAYSTACK.

BUT I HAVE NO BETTER PROSPECTS
AT THE MOMENT.

DOCTOR, HOW ABOUT THROWING IN
WITH US?

WITH DAVIE'S APPROVAL
OF COURSE. - SURE.

- OH, TEN YEARS AGO,
I WOULD HAVE SEIZED THE CHANCE.

BUT, NO, I SIMPLY
CANNOT IGNORE THE CALL

OF THOSE POOR UNFORTUNATES
ALONG THE RIVER.

- AND YOU THINK OUR CHANCES
ARE PRETTY SLIM.

(chuckles)

WELL, THE BOYS AND I
WILL STICK WITH YOU

AS FAR AS NEW ORLEANS,

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

OH, IT'S MY PLEASURE.

THEN WE'LL HEAD FOR TAMPA

AND OUTFIT OURSELVES

FOR THE FINAL LEG
TO WHITEWATER COVE.

- FRANKLY, MR. BURNIE,
I THINK

THAT YOU'RE COURTING DISASTER.

EVEN IF YOU FIND
THAT TREASURE,

SPANGLER WILL TAKE IT
AWAY FROM YOU,

AND HE'LL KILL YOU ALL

AS THE REST OF YOU.

(chuckles)

- HEY, TAKE YOUR HANDS
OUT OF THE WATER.

THIS IS GATOR COUNTRY.

I DON'T SEE NO GATORS.

- HA. YOU DON'T.
WELL, THEY'RE HERE.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU.

(shouts)

THERE.
SEE 'EM.

YEAH.

OOH, SIT DOWN, LAD.

SIT DOWN.
YOU GET US IN THAT WATER,

WE'LL BE LUNCH
FOR THE GATORS.

NOW, IF YOU SHOULD HAVE
A TUSSLE WITH ONE,

GET UNDERNEATH HIM

BECAUSE A GATOR CAN'T MOVE
HIS LOWER JAW.

- IT'S A PITY SOME HUMANS
ARE NOT SIMILARLY HANDICAPPED.

(laughs weakly)

(alligators growling)

- I THINK
WE'D BETTER LEAVE, DOCTOR.

- YEAH.
PERHAPS YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT NOISE DO YOU MAKE
TO FRIGHTEN THESE THINGS?

(screams)

(growls)

OH, PERHAPS NOT.

- THERE'S NOT A BREATH OF AIR
IN THIS PLACE.

- ALL RIGHT, LADS,
BEAR TO THE LEFT NOW,

TO THE LEFT.

- LEFT? I THOUGHT SOUTH
WOULD BE IN THAT DIRECTION.

- OH, AYE,
YOU'RE QUITE RIGHT, DOCTOR.

VERY GOOD SENSE OF DIRECTION
YOU'VE GOT THERE.

WELL, YOU SEE,
THAT THERE CHANNEL

PLUGS UP
ABOUT A MILE FURTHER ON,

SO, UH, WE TURN LEFT.

UH. AH.

COME ON. PULL.

LET'S GET IN HERE.

- LET'S STOP THERE.
- WHAT FOR?

- WELL, IT'S THE LAST
GOOD WATERING SPOT

FOR 50 MILES, MA'AM.

I THINK WE'D BETTER GET
OUR WATER HERE, RIGHT?

I'LL HELP YOU, MR. SKAGGS.

THANK YOU, DAVIE.

- I TOLD YOU I KNOW
A NIGHT CRAWLER WHEN I SEE ONE.

- OUT OF THE BOAT,
ALL OF YOU.

NOW, MISS HIGH AND MIGHTY,

I'M GIVING
THE ORDERS AROUND HERE.

GET OUT OF THERE.
YOU DEFILE THAT BOAT.

JUMP, WOMAN.
JUMP.

(laughing)

I SAID, "JUMP."

NOW, MASTER DAVIE, COME HERE.

YOU LED US A MERRY CHASE,

BUT NOW IT'S OVER,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MAP.

I LOST IT.

BUT I KNOW
WHERE THE TREASURE IS.

TIMBUKTU,
EXTREME SOUTHERN--

HE'S ONLY A LAD!

OH.

I INTEND TO GET THAT MAP.

- HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
HE--HE LOST IT IN THE RIVER.

THEN WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE?

HE KNOWS WHERE THE GOLD IS.

NOW OUT WITH IT,

OR I'LL BE FORCED TO DO
SOMETHING VERY UNPLEASANT

FOR THE BOTH OF US,
ESPECIALLY YOU.

HE MEANS IT, DAVIE.

YOU TELL HIM
WHAT YOU REMEMBER.

WHERE IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

NO.

I HAVE A MAP OF SORTS.

I THOUGHT IT WISER
TO COMMIT THE MAP

TO SOMETHING LESS FALLIBLE
THAN MEMORY.

THANK THE LORD FOR THAT.

WHITEWATER COVE.

HUH.

MATECUMBE KEY.

HERE.
THESE TREES.

WE FIND THEM,
WE FIND THE GOLD.

ALL RIGHT, MAN THE BOATS,
OURS AND THEIRS.

- YOU'RE NOT GONNA
LEAVE US HERE?

MY APOLOGIES, MADAME.

BUT IF WE LEAVE YOUR BOAT,

YOU MIGHT JUST FIND A WAY
OUT OF HERE.

- YOU WON'T STARVE
TO DEATH, LADY.

MOSQUITOES WILL GET YOU
LONG BEFORE THAT.

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR,

BUT YOU WON'T BE NEEDING THIS,
NOW, WILL YOU?

THANK YOU.

MA'AM.

(mosquitoes buzzing)

(all coughing)

GET OFF!

(shouts)

CAREFUL. DON'T SMOTHER IT.

DON'T SMOTHER IT.

(whimpers)

(screams)

- WHAT ARE YOU--NO!

NO, YOU'LL CHOKE OUT HERE.

YOU'LL CHOKE OUT HERE.

THEY'LL GET INTO YOUR--
(spits)

THEY'LL GET
IN YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BREATHE.
TAKE THAT.

COME ON. IT'S BETTER--
BETTER NEAR THE SMOKE.

COME ON.

(thunder rumbles)

(buzzing stops, rain falling)

- WILL THIS KILL 'EM?
- SOME OF THEM PERHAPS.

BUT WHEN THE RAIN IS OVER,
THEY'LL BE BACK.

AND THEN WHATEVER LITTLE HELP
THE SMOKE WAS,

THERE'LL BE NOTHING
TO BURN.

- (distant singing)
- WHAT'S THAT?

RAIN!

DON'T YOU HEAR NOTHING?

I HEAR IT.

LIKE SINGING.

- IF WE DON'T MAKE
SOME NOISE, CHARLIE,

HOW WILL ANYONE KNOW
WE'RE AROUND?

SO SING ALONG.

(Davie screaming)

- all: HELP!
- OVER HERE!

HELP!

OVER HERE!

- HELP!
- SHH.

- (stops singing)
- HELP! HELP!

- CAN'T YOU HEAR?
HELP US, SIR!

all: HELP!

- HEY!
- JIM!

- all: JIM!
- UNCLE JIM!

UNCLE JIM!
YOU'RE HERE. YOU'RE HERE.

- OF COURSE. WE'RE
IN THIS TOGETHER, AREN'T WE?

(chuckles)

YOU ALL SEEM
A LITTLE WORSE FOR WEAR.

WHERE'S COOTER SKAGGS?

- WE WERE ABANDONED
BY OUR GUIDE.

HE WAS IN LEAGUE
WITH SPANGLER.

SPANGLER?

- YEAH.
- HE'S HERE?

- HE WENT TO GO GET
THE TREASURE.

THEY KNOW WHERE IT IS.

HOW MUCH AHEAD ARE THEY?

- THEY LEFT SOMETIME
THIS AFTERNOON.

MAYBE WE CAN BEAT 'EM.

AH!

- WE'VE BEEN DESERTED
AND ALMOST ATE ALIVE BY MOSQUITOES,

AND ALL YOU CAN
MERCENARILY CARE ABOUT IS THAT UNHOLY GOLD.

- YOU'RE PRETTY,
EVEN WHEN YOU'RE WET AND ANGRY.

- YOU HAD US THINKING
YOU WERE DEAD.

YOU PROBABLY WERE DEAD DRUNK
IN SOME SALOON.

AND IF YOU WERE ALIVE,

THEN WHY DID YOU
HAVE US GO OFF

WITH THAT HORRIBLE,
HORRIBLE MAN?

AND YOU SMELL TO HIGH HEAVEN.

- (chuckles) MOSQUITOES
DON'T LIKE IT MUCH EITHER.

- IT'S AN OINTMENT.
- WHAT DID YOU SAY?

- MOSQUITOES,
THEY DON'T LIKE IT MUCH EITHER.

NO, BEFORE THAT.

I SAID YOU'RE PRETTY.

I BEEN MEANING
TO TELL YOU THAT EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW YOU.

BUT I HAD A ROPE
AROUND MY NECK AND, UH...

(chuckles)

ARE WE READY NOW?

- SO WHEN I GOT TO TAMPA,
I JUST BEAT THE BUSHES

UNTIL I FOUND
MY OLD FRIEND CHARLIE.

THEN CHARLIE AND I PICKED UP
THE SAME TRAIL

SPANGLER LEFT FOR
COOTER SKAGGS. WE WERE--

WHAT ON EARTH?

- COUGAR.
- COUGAR?

IT'S AN INDIAN TRIBE,

PART OF THE SEMINOLES.

THEY FRIENDLY
WITH YOUR PEOPLE?

COUGAR NOBODY'S FRIENDS.

- BAD.
- BAD?

DO YOU THINK THEY'VE SEEN US?

THEY SEE LONG TIME NOW.

WHY CAN'T WE SEE THEM?

- 'CAUSE THEY DON'T
WANT US TO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, CHARLIE?

- HURRICANE.
- HURRICANE?

(birds calling)

- STAY HERE.
BETTER.

WHY STAY HERE?

- A BEACH ON THE OPEN SEA
IS NO PLACE TO GET CAUGHT

IN A HURRICANE.

BUT SPANGLER WON'T STOP.

- IF WE ALL END UP
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, DAVIE,

WE WON'T HAVE GAINED MUCH,
WILL WE?

IT'S SO STILL.

CHARLIE NOT WRONG.

BIRDS NOT WRONG.

- WE'RE ALMOST THERE,
AREN'T WE?

WITH LUCK, WE CAN BEAT IT.

LET'S MAKE A RUN FOR IT.

(wind howling)

(thunder crashes)

THERE'S THE TREES.

COME ON.

STAY TOGETHER.

JIM!

KEEP GOING.

(creaking)

(crash)

- CHARLIE!
- CHARLIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

HELP HIM.

CAN YOU GET UP?

- CHARLIE!
- CHARLIE ALL RIGHT.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

COME ON.

START DIGGING!

OVER THERE.
SPREAD OUT.

LOOK OUT!

THAD!

- DAVIE, I THOUGHT
YOU WAS A GONER FOR SURE.

LOOK!

COME ON. LET GO.

NO, GO GET UNCLE JIM.

UNCLE JIM!

UNCLE JIM!

OVER BY DAVIE.
HE FOUND SOMETHING.

COME ON.

- HERE IT IS.
- LOOK AT IT, THAD!

- YEAH-HA-HA!
(excited shouting)

HEY, DAVIE!
YES!

HEY!

DOCTOR!

- SNODGRASS!
LAURIETTE!

DOCTOR!

NO!

BEHIND YOU!

DOCTOR!

OH, NO!

DOCTOR SNODGRASS!

NO!

- DOCTOR!
- NO, DOCTOR!

STAY HERE.

OH!

HOLD THE BOYS.

- NO!
- NO. IT'S NO USE.

COME ON.

INTO THE WOODS.

CHARLIE, TAKE A WALK!

HURRY.
KEEP MOVING.

(screams)

DAVIE!

DAVIE!

(screams)

(screams)

UNCLE JIM!

UNCLE JIM!

DAVIE!

- I'M DOWN HERE!
GET ME OUT OF HERE!

STAY THERE.

CHIEF'S TOMB.

- YOU'LL BE SAFER DOWN THERE
THAN UP HERE.

COME ON.

(rattling)

WHAT'S HE DOING?

CALMING THE SPIRITS.

- MATECUMBE COUGAR
SACRED BURIAL GROUND.

- WE'LL HAVE A LOT MORE
THAN SPIRITS TO WORRY ABOUT

IF THE COUGAR FIND US HERE.

WILL THEY KILL US?

NO KILL.

COUGAR MAKE WEAR COCATOW
ALL TIME.

"COUGHCATOW"?

MAKE SQUAWS OUT OF US.

SLAVES FOR THE REST
OF OUR LIVES.

NOT A SIGN OF HIM.

I SEARCHED THE BEACH
A MILE EACH WAY.

GOLD...

SOME JEWELRY, MOSTLY COINS.

(clinking)

JIM.

- COUGAR COMING.
- LET'S GO.

(grunting)

(gunshots)

IT'S SPANGLER!

HOLD YOUR FIRE!

WE WANT THE GOLD, BURNIE!

LEAVE IT,
AND GET OUT OF THERE.

- YOU'RE NOT GONNA GIVE IT
TO HIM!

SHH.

- COUGAR HEAR GUN,
FIND US.

THAT MAY NOT BE ALL BAD.

WE WON'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

I WANT THE GOLD.

I WANT THE GOLD NOW!

- YOU AND THE BOYS
GET OUT OF HERE. HIDE.

JUST GIVE IT TO HIM.

DO AS I SAY.

IT'S YOURS.

BUT I'M TAKING YOU
AT YOUR WORD.

WE WANT SAFE PASSAGE
OUT OF HERE.

- YOU HAVE MY WORD...
AS A GENTLEMAN.

(laughs)

- ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GRAB IT AND RUN.

(gunshot)

(gunshots)

(animals chattering)

(chattering stops)

(chuckles)

(laughs)

GOT TOO HEAVY FOR 'EM.

(creaking)

OH.

(gasping)
AH.

TAKE IT.

TAKE THE TREASURE
TO THE BOATS.

TAKE THE TREASURE
TO THE BOATS.

(gunshot)

(gunshots)

WHERE ARE THEY?

(gun cocks)

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!

(hyperventilates)

WAIT!

COME ON!

COME ON BACK HERE
AND FIGHT.

(gunshots)

COME ON, YOU YELLOW,
SCURVY INBREDS!

(gunshot)

- CHIEF, I DON'T KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT THESE OTHER FELLAS,

BUT I AM PART MOHAWK
ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE.

- GOOD.
MOHAWK MAKE GOOD SQUAW.

SQUAW?

GO.

COME, SQUAW.

SQUAW.

NEARLY JOURNEY'S END, DAVIE.

YOU'VE GOT THE
BURNIE TREASURE.

- ALL I WANT IS ENOUGH
TO FIX UP GRASSY.

WE'LL SPLIT UP THE REST.

THAT ALL RIGHT WITH YOU, THAD?

YEAH.

- SNODGRASS!
children: DR. SNODGRASS!

DR. SNODGRASS!

all: DR. SNODGRASS!

DOCTOR!
DR. SNODGRASS!

(excited shouting)

(chuckles)

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
DR. SNODGRASS?

- A SLIGHT SEPARATION
OF THE FEMUR AND THE TIBIA.

A MINOR VISITATION FOR A MAN
OF MY CONSTITUTION.

(laughs)

I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE YOU
AGAIN, DOCTOR.

- THE SEA
COULDN'T HOLD ME, SIR.

I WAS BEACHED BY AN IMMENSE,
YET UNDERSTANDING WAVE.

(chuckles)

I KNOW WHAT THE ENGLISH SAY

ABOUT BAD PENNIES, DOC,

BUT I'M AWFULLY GLAD
TO SEE YOU'RE ALIVE.

OH, MY DEAR.

OH, THAD.

THAD, THAD.
THANK YOU.

- DR. SNODGRASS, I TOLD GOD
IF HE SAVED YOU,

I'D DO EXACTLY LIKE YOU SAY.

LEARN EVERYTHING I CAN
SO AS YOU CAN BE PROUD OF ME.

- WELL, HE OBVIOUSLY KEPT
HIS PART OF THE BARGAIN.

SO FROM NOW ON, THAD,

YOUR COURSE
IS CLEARLY CHARTED.

COME ALONG, THEN.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE HAD AN EASY
TIME OF IT, YOU OTHERS.

- (laughter)
- OH. EASY TIME?

- I HAD THE MOST HARROWING
EXPERIENCE.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT...

AT THE RISK OF BORING MYSELF.

DR. SNODGRASS?

YOU REALLY ENGLISH?

ONLY AT TIMES, THAD.

ONLY AT...
AT TIMES.

DR. SNODGRASS,

WHY DON'T YOU COME AND STAY
WITH US AT GRASSY?

- GRASSY?
OH, I SHOULD BE HONORED, DAVIE.

BUT I CANNOT IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE FORGO MY DUTY

TOWARDS THOSE POOR
UNFORTUNATES ALONG THE RIVER

WHO AWAIT MY CALL
WITH SUCH IMPATIENCE

EVERY YEAR.

BUT IT'S GOOD TO KNOW
THAT YOU AND GRASSY

WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
TO OFFER SANCTUARY.

KNOW THAT THE FRIENDSHIPS
THAT WERE FORGED

IN THE CRUCIBLE
OF OUR ADVERSITY

SHALL NOT TARNISH,

NOR THEIR TEMPER E'ER LOSE.

WHAT'D HE SAY?
