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.

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!

I almost got you packed.

Hi. I just can't find

your old sneakers.

Can I talk to you for a second?

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?

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.

Hello, darling.

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.

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 12?

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.

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.

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.

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!

That's it!

I love you, too!

Roarke.

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!

This is great!

Yes! Hold on, Maggie!

Look out for that rock!

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?

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!

It's cold!

Hey, look, Mom!
Graffiti!

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.

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!

- 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!

- You gotta turn!
- Get over!

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!

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...

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.

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.

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?

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?

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 spirit 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! 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!

- Great.
- It's a Swiss army knife!

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, 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

This looks pretty great.

Oh, boy.

That's great.
You ought to try it.

I'll get a towel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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!

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?

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... 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.

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?

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 onto 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?

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?

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! 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?

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?

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!

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.

- 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, 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!

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!

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...

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!

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.
