CHRIS: Mom!

Mom! Help me.

[GASPING]

What is it?

I wasn't dreaming, Walt.

I didn't imagine it.

I heard him.
I heard him. I heard him.

I heard Chris.

I heard him!

I know.

No. I wasn't
imagining it, Walt.

No, I did.
He's... He's...

[SOBBING]

I heard him!

Billie.

MAN: That's about as
far as I can get you.

CHRIS: All right. Thank you.

You left all your
shit on my dash.

Keep it.

Suit yourself.

Thanks again.

Hey, hold on
a minute.

Here, take these.

They'll keep your feet dry.

If you make it out alive,
give me a call.

My number's
inside the boots.

Thanks.

Hello?

Is there anybody here?

Guess not!

[HOWLING]

[GROANING]

[SIGHING]

Two years he walks the earth.

No phone, no pool, no pets,

no cigarettes.

Ultimate freedom.

An extremist.
An aesthetic voyager

[CLEARING THROAT]

whose home is the road.

"Hey, listen, old man.

"Now, don't psychoanalyze
me, all right?

"Shut up. I'm taking you
out to where we're going."

"Where you going?"

"I told you.
We're going nowhere!"

So now,
after two rambling years

comes the final
and greatest adventure.

The climactic battle to kill

the false being within

and victoriously conclude
the spiritual revolution.

[EXCLAIMING]

No longer to be poisoned
by civilization, he flees,

and walks alone
upon the land to become

lost in the wild.

Regina Victoria McNabb.

CHRIS: I see them standing
at the formal gates
of their colleges.

I see my father
strolling out under
the ochre sandstone arch,

the red tiles glinting
like bent plates of blood
behind his head.

I see my mother
with a few light books
at her hip,

standing at the pillar
made of tiny bricks
with the wrought-iron gates

still open behind her,
its sword-tips
black in the May air.

They are about to graduate.

They are about to get married.

They are kids. They are dumb.

All they know
is they are innocent,

they would never hurt anybody.

I want to go up to them
and say, "Stop, don't do it.

"She's the wrong woman,
he's the wrong man.

"You are going to do
things you cannot imagine
you would ever do.

"You are going to do
bad things to children.

"You are going to suffer
in ways you never heard of.

"You are going
to want to die."

I want to go up to them there
in the late May sunlight
and say it.

But I don't do it.
I want to live.

I take them up like
the male and female
paper dolls,

and bang them
together at the hips
like chips of flint,

as if to strike sparks
from them. I say,

"Do what you are going to do
and I will tell about it."

Here they are,
Walt. Okay?

Who wrote that?

Well, could have
been either one of us,
couldn't it?

Why is he letting
Carine drive his car?

There's a lot of
great poems in here.

WALT: I have to speak
to her about it.

Sit down.

Excuse me.
I'm going to get my son.

He just graduated today
from Emory College.

I'll get it.
I'll get it.

Chris, hi!
We've been waiting
and waiting.

You scared me half to death
jumping up there
on that stage like that.

[BILLIE LAUGHING]

Hi, Dad.

Congratulations, Son.
This is a big step.

Thank you, Dad.

All right.

You're not supposed
to be driving in Georgia.

Why? I have my permit.

'Cause it's against the law
for a learner's permit

to drive in another state
from one's home state.
That's why.

I didn't know that.
I thought that if I was
with a legal driver

that it'd be okay.

BILLIE: Well, let's...

[MEN SHOUTING]

Are they going
to continue?

No.

I guess everybody's
celebrating today.

[ALL LAUGHING]

They're going to stay
in the bar, right?

That's right.

[ALL CHANTING TEAM SLOGAN]

My grades
are good enough, I think,
to get into Harvard Law.

Chris, that's wonderful.

That is a big deal.

How much do you have left
in the college fund?

Exactly $24,500.68.

Well, that's specific.

I had to go to the bank
this morning, Mom.

Your mother and I
will be glad

to contribute the balance
for Harvard.

That's right.

I've got to figure out
what I'm going to do.

I've got a lot
of things to pack
and organize here first.

Your father and I,
we want to make
a present to you.

We want to get you
out of that junker.

Mmm-hmm.

What junker?

That.

We want to buy you a new car.

That's right.

A new car?

BILLIE: Mmm-hmm.

Why would I want a new car?
Datsun runs great.

Do you think I
want some fancy boat?

Are you worried what
the neighbors might think?

Well, we weren't gonna get you
a brand new Cadillac, Chris.

We just want to get you
a nice new car
that's safe to drive.

And you never know
when that thing out there
just might blow up.

Blow up. Blow up?

Are you guys crazy?
It's a great car.

I don't need a new car.

I don't want a new car.

I don't want anything.

BILLIE: Okay.

These things, things,
things, things.

BILLIE: Okay.

Everything has
to be difficult.Thank you.

Thank you.

Maybe that's not what
he means. Maybe he just
wants his old car.

It's not such
a big deal.

Thank you.
I just don't want anything.

[GRUNTING]

CARINE: Chris measured himself
and those around him

by a fiercely rigorous
moral code.

Bye, Chris!

He risked what could have been
a relentlessly lonely path

but found company
in the characters
of the books he loved

from writers like Tolstoy,
Jack London and Thoreau.

He could summon their words
to suit any occasion,

and he often would.

I forgot to ask
what quote he'd have picked

for his graduation dinner,

but I had a good idea
of who the primary
target would be.

It was inevitable
that Chris would break away.

And when he did,

he would do it with
characteristic immoderation.

"It is associated in our minds

CARINE:
Toward the end of June,

Emory had mailed our parents
Chris' final grade report.

Almost all A's.

A in Apartheid
in South African Society.

A-minus in Contemporary
African Politics

and the Food Crisis in Africa.

And on it went.
Clever boy, my brother.

But by the end of July,
we hadn't heard
anything from him

and my parents
were becoming unsettled.

Chris had never had a phone,

so they decided to drive down
to Atlanta and surprise him.

♪ I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away ♪

CARINE: When they arrived
at the apartment,

there was a "For Rent" sign up

and the manager said
that Chris had moved out
at the end of May.

Oh, yes. He left
two months ago.

So when they got home,

I had to hand them
all the letters

that they had sent
Chris that summer,

which had been returned
in a bundle.

Chris had arranged
for the post office

to hold them until August 1st,

to buy himself some time.

WALT: Did you know
about this?

He didn't say anything.

CARINE: I understood
what he was doing.

That he had spent four years

fulfilling the absurd
and tedious duty
of graduating from college,

and now he was emancipated
from that world
of abstraction,

false security,
parents and material excess,

[BILLIE LAUGHING]

the things
that cut Chris off from
the truth of his existence.

[AIRPLANE WHOOSHING]

Hey!

RAINEY: Hey, man.
Step around. Jump in.

Okay, great.

We barely saw you
there underneath that
crazy hat of yours.

This door's a little tricky.
There you go. Hop in.

That's Rainey.

Hi, Rainey.Yeah, I'm Rainey.

I'm Jan.Hi. I'm Alex.

Alex with the hat on.

JAN: Yeah, I know.
You said it, man.CHRIS: Yeah.

So you're a leather now.

I'm a leather?

Yeah, a leather tramp.

That's what they call
the ones that hoof it,
go on foot.

Technically
we're rubber tramps.

Because we
have a vehicle.

[CHUCKLING]

You don't have
to push me away.

Come on, please?

Yeah, Alex could
have a vehicle as well,

but he decided
to burn all of his money.

And why did you
do that?

I don't need money.

Makes people cautious.

Come on, Alex. You gotta be
a little cautious.

I mean, that book of yours
is cool and everything,

but you can't depend entirely
on leaves and berries.

I don't know
if you want to depend
on much more than that.

Where are your mom and dad?

Living their lives somewhere.

You look like
a loved kid. Be fair.

Fair?

You know what I mean.

I'll paraphrase Thoreau here.

"Rather than love,
than money, than faith,

"than fame, than fairness,

"give me truth."

[TENT UNZIPPING]

CARINE: From as long ago
as Chris and I could remember,

there have been daily bouts
of rage in our house.

Violence that we were forced
to witness. It was very real.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

But it was also like theater.

They cast us as both
judges and the accused.

And I got you this token,
this expensive token.

CARINE: Dad had been
the young genius

that NASA enlisted
to do crucial designs

for the American satellite
radar systems

that would be our answer
to the Russian Sputnik.

And Mom and he later
started up a consulting firm

combining her
get-up-and-go resourcefulness

with his wealth of knowledge.

Look at this.

But by the time
the company actually made
its first million,

the careerism and money
seemed only to embolden
their blindness.

Thank you very, very much.

I remember
the first family meeting

to let us in on their plans
for getting a divorce.

They wanted us to choose
which of them we'd live with.

We cried our eyes out.

The divorce never happened,

but the battles
and the meetings
never stopped.

It wasn't very long
before Chris and I shut off.

We'd say "Go ahead.

"Get the divorce."

[LAUGHING]

Jeez. If I struck
a match to you

I'd have dinner
and warmth
at the same time.

Where's Jan going?

Well, my friend,

all is not well
on the hippie front.

[SIGHING]

You're an industrious
little fucker,
aren't you?

Little bit.

It's funny how things
happen at particular times.

I've loved that woman
for a lot of years, bro.

But, you know,
she's got a story.

We've been going
through this thing,
real quiet.

So when we ran
into you yesterday,

this thing that we've been
going through real quiet,

she's talking about it.
You know what I mean?

I think I do.

You think what?

Well...

Some people feel like
they don't deserve love.

They walk away quietly
into empty spaces,

trying to close
the gaps to the past.

That's a hell
of an insight. Jesus!

You're not Jesus,
are you?

Look who's talking.

You gonna walk across
the water and get her
back for me, pal?

No. I'm afraid of water.

Always have been.

Something I've gotta get over
sometime though, huh?

So I will swim in it

if you'll carry
the firewood back to camp.

Shit, yeah.Yeah?

Call it carried.

All right.

CHRIS: "The sea's only gifts
are harsh blows,

"and, occasionally,
the chance to feel strong.

"Now, I don't know
much about the sea,

"but I do know that
that's the way it is here.

"And I also know
how important it is in life

"not necessarily to be strong,
but to feel strong,

"to measure yourself
at least once,

"to find yourself at least
once in the most ancient
of human conditions,

"facing the blind,
deaf stone alone

"with nothing to help you
but your hands
and your own head."

There's a big
wave coming!

[SHOUTING]

Rainey,
I'm freezing!

Could you put
your arms around me?

RAINEY: Oh!

[JAN GIGGLING]

The Navy bulldozed
and abandoned
this base down there,

and all that's left
is this huge grid

of concrete foundations,
or slabs.

Man, you would dig
the Slabs.

You would like it.
You would like it.
If you're on the road still.

JAN: You'd love it.

Fellow travelers.

Just living
on the cheap under
the sun. Can't beat it.

CHRIS: Sounds good.

If you come,
I'll make you
a proper hat.

Promise?

I swear to God.

RAINEY: Oh, baby. Baby.

[JAN GIGGLING]

JAN: Stop it. Wait.Yeah.

[RAINEY LAUGHING]

Oh, yes.

Okay.

[SHUSHING]

Let me turn off
the light. Oh.

CARINE: In early September,

Mom and Dad got a call
from the Annandale police

notifying them that
Chris' abandoned car

had been identified by
the Arizona Highway Patrol.

A group of rare flower hunters

stumbled upon it
in the desert.

There were no signs that Chris
had intended to return to it.

But there wasn't any evidence
of struggle, either.

The police thought Chris
had chosen to leave it behind

and not that
it was taken from him.

The initial comfort that gave
Mom and Dad quickly turned

to the realization
that Chris was actually
trying not to be found.

Strong.

You can do anything.

You can go anywhere.

Money, power is an illusion.

It's up here.

You can be here.

Me and you.

[GUN FIRING]

One, two. No, no, no.

Two,

three...

WAYNE: Don't be shy with it.
Get it moving there.

That's good.
That's your speed
right here.

CHRIS: Right.

You go too fast,
you won't get
all the wheat.

That's it, straight line,
straight line,
little straighter.

See how you're bearing?
Just a little straighter.
Now you're a combiner.

Wow, look at this view!

But keep your eye
on the wheat, here.
Make sure you're cutting it.

You can look back here
and see how much
is coming out, all right.

How do you feel?I feel great.

Okay, keep it straight.
God bless you.

Make yourself some money,
my friend.

I'll see you
in a little bit.

Okay.

Wayne. Where you going?

Kevin, you know
I love you.

I'm joking with you.
I'm joking. Stop it.
I'm joking with you.

Mind your own
business, Wayne!

What are you
getting so hostile for?

I don't know.Me and you are
on the same side.

We're on
the same side.

I'm just tired
of the teasing a lot.

Kevin, we're on
the same side.

Let me get some...
If I want some vagina,
let me get it.

[MEN LAUGHING]

MAN: Whoa.
He's serious about this.WAYNE: Let's just play cards.

Can we just play cards?Let's go, then.

$2, $4, $6,
just put all the money in.

I just wanna see
everybody going for broke.

You want to play?

No.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Kevin, what have you
got for the week?I got 260.

We're at 260.

We're gonna stay
right at 260,
that's our number.

We've got
20,000 pounds.

We've got 20,000 pounds
we need to get rid of.

WAYNE: Maybe just do
all that after lunch

before we get back
into everything else.

Can we do
the $500 reserves...

What do you think
about all this?

I like all this.

♪ Now it's just you

♪ Thought I was you
That's what everybody ♪

I don't think
he can do it.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Is there a library
or bookstore around here

where I can get books
on hunting and preserving?

Anything at all
to do with hunting
or preserving the meat,

smoking it,
whatever the hell it is,

talk to Kevin over there.
That's your man.

Outdoorsman.
What's your fascination
with all that stuff?

I'm going to Alaska.

Alaska, Alaska?
Or city Alaska?

Because they do have
markets in Alaska.

The city of Alaska.
Not in Alaska.

In the city of Alaska,
they have markets.

No, man. Alaska, Alaska.

I'm gonna be
all the way out there,
all the way fucking out there.

Just on my own.

You know, no fucking watch,
no map, no ax, no nothing.
No nothing.

Just be out there.
Just be out there in it.

You know, big mountains,
rivers, sky, game.

Just be out there in it,
you know? In the wild.

In the wild.Just wild.

Yeah.Just...

[GROWLING]

What are you doing
when we're there?

Now you're in the wild,
what are we doing?

You're just living, man.

You're just there,
in that moment,

in that special
place and time.

Yeah.

Maybe when I get back,
I can write a book
about my travels.

Why not?

You know, about getting out
of this sick society.

[COUGHING]Society!

Society!Society, man!

Society!Society! Society!

Society!Society, you know! Society!

'Cause you know
what I don't understand?

I don't understand
why people,
why every fucking person

is so bad to each
other so fucking often.

It doesn't make sense to me.

Judgment. Control.
All that, the whole spectrum.

Well, it just...

What "people"
we talking about?

You know,
parents, hypocrites,

politicians, pricks.

This is a mistake.

It's a mistake to get
too deep into all
that kind of stuff.

Alex, you're a hell
of a young guy,
a hell of a young guy.

But I promise you this.

You're a young guy!

Can't be juggling blood
and fire all the time!

You've got to just kind of...

Wayne, what are you
talking about?

What?I mean...

I'm talking about
blood and fire.

We're talking about trying
to juggle blood and fire.

Who are you
to be giving advice
to anybody anyway?

Who am I to be
giving advice to anybody?

Yes.

Well, it's nice to meet you.
My name is Mr. Happy.

CHRIS: Mr. Happy.

And Mr. Happy
sometimes gives advice.

Alex, please.[LAUGHING] I'm sorry.

Sometimes Mr. Happy...
Well, Mr. Happy
is always happy.

Uh-huh.But you know
when he's happiest?

He's not always happy.When is he happy?

Are you really
gonna say that to me?

Come on,
tell me about it.

I am going to say
that to you.

Now...Sit down before
you hurt yourself.

One thing that you should
try to keep your eye on

is what happened
in the late 1940s in Roswell.

CARINE: When a search
of tax records revealed that

Chris had given
his life savings to charity,

Mom and Dad became
what Dad called "mobilized."

They hired
a private investigator

and notified law
enforcement nationwide,

determined to track him down.

I just figured
he'd be with gypsies,
far from the eyes of the law.

These are those free
satellite TV deals.

You're the one who
said it, Alex, not me.

You're gonna need something.
What kind of gun you got?

I'm probably gonna get
like a .22, I think.
A .22 caliber rifle.

[CHUCKLES]

All right, then.

When you get your kill,
time is of the essence.

Now, the first thing
you wanna do
is make sure

that you got that meat
nice and shaved up.

And you don't have
a lot of time to do this.

This is about
an hour or two.

Depending on the weather.
Especially if it's hot,

you've got less time
to do it.

What you do
is you want to make sure

that them flies
don't land on your meat.

Because once them flies
start shitting out
larvae and them maggots,

you know,
those creepy crawlies,
it's too late. It's too late.

[SIREN WAILING]

You got me. You got me.

I warned Wayne
about them
little black boxes.

Mr. Westerberg,
Scott Baker, FBI.

I think you know
why we're here.

Impressive turn-out.Yeah.

You mind grabbing that zipper
for me there? Thank you.

Let's go.Sorry, boys.

We're gonna
have to shut down
for a little while.

Alex, you come back
and work for me
any time you want.

Gil's got your checks, guys.
I shouldn't be away
too long.

Remember Alex,
no Alaska till spring.

South, kid.
You wanna head south.

CARINE: The year Chris
graduated high school,

he bought the Datsun used
and drove it cross-country.

He stayed away
most of the summer.

Come on. The neighbors
are gonna be
watching, honey.

CARINE: Can you spray it?

As soon as I heard
he was home,

I ran into his room
to talk to him.

In California, he'd looked up
some old family friends.

He discovered
that our parents' stories

of how they fell in love
and got married

were calculated lies
masking an ugly truth.

When they met,
Dad was already married.

And even after
Chris was born,

Dad had had another son
with his first wife, Marcia,

to whom he was
still legally married.

This fact suddenly
re-defined Chris and me
as bastard children.

Dad's arrogance made him
conveniently oblivious
to the pain he caused.

And Mom, in the shame
and embarrassment
of a young mistress,

became his accomplice
in deceit.

The fragility of crystal
is not a weakness
but a fineness.

My parents understood
that a fine crystal glass
had to be cared for

or it may be shattered.

But when it came
to my brother,

they did not seem
to know or care

that their course
of secret action

brought the kind
of devastation
that could cut them.

Their fraudulent marriage
and our father's denial
of this other son

was, for Chris,
a murder of every day's truth.

He felt his whole life turn,

like a river
suddenly reversing

the direction of its flow,
suddenly running uphill.

These revelations struck
at the core of Chris'
sense of identity.

They made his entire childhood
seem like fiction.

Chris never told them he knew

and made me promise
silence, as well.

I can't afford four.

Who's gonna pay
for the fourth one?

Bryan can't afford four.
Does it matter?

Can I help you?

Yeah. If I wanted
to paddle down the river,

where's the best place
to launch out of?

Hang on a second.
"To launch out of?"
What's your experience level?

Not much.

Any?
Do you have a permit?

A permit?
Permit for what?

You can't paddle
down the river
without a permit.

If you want,
you can apply for one here,
get some experience,

and I'll put you
on the wait-list.

No, I got
this guy in here.
We'll figure it out.

There's a wait-list
to paddle down a river?

That's right.

Yeah, it's gonna be...Well, how long
do I have to wait?

Yeah, hang on a second.

Now, the deal is
it's gonna be me and you

or it's gonna be me,
you and her.

Next available
is May 17th, 2003.

Great. Done.
The three of us, then.

Twelve years?

What's that?Twelve years?

To paddle down a river.

Let me call you back.

You can do that,

or you can join
a commercial raft trip,
go with a licensed guide.

Hey. I'm Sonja.

Hey, Alex.

We are from Copenhagen,
and you are from the rapids.

I am.

[SPEAKING DANISH]

You're crazy!
You're crazy, man.

My God!

Sonja, get away
from him.

Get away from him.
He's crazy! Look, he's crazy.

I'll make you a hot dog.
One minute.

[SPEAKING DANISH]

I love this.
Don't you love this?

You know, this is nature.

[SHOUTING]

[BOTH SHOUTING]

MADS: So where
are you going?

I haven't decided yet.

Really?Uh-uh.

Well, we like it
here very much.

And it's so good
to meet you, man.
So good to meet you.

You know,
we went to Los Angeles,

and then we went
to Las Vegas.

Oh, yeah. Las Vegas
is very nice.

The universe is so good.

[SPEAKING DANISH]

The universe
is very good.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.The whole universe.

Just the place.
The city, she means.

Her English
is not very good.

But then
we came here.

I don't care
if she's a little stupid,
but I like her.

You know you can actually
go all the way down
to Mexico from here.

Yeah?Yeah.

You can take the kayak,
and you can take it
all the way around

down to Hoover Dam,
you can sail around,

and then from there
you can take the river

all the way down
to Mexico!

Really?Yeah.

[SPEAKING DANISH]

Come on, come on!

[SPEAKING DANISH]

She's so slow sometimes.

SONJA: Here's the map.

But I like her.

Here. Hoover Dam.Okay.

About 330 kilometers,
I think.

Miles?Yeah, miles,
about 200 miles.

Two hundred miles.

Two hundred miles.
Yeah, man.

You know,
I wonder if
I could paddle

all the way down that
into the Gulf of California.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you can.

You know,
I will go with you.

I will go with you.
We leave Sonja here,
and then we take the kayak.

No, no.
We go all the way
down into Mexico.

You know, because
in every man's heart,

there is a Mexican mistress.

[ALL LAUGHING]

[SPEAKING DANISH]

[SIREN SOUNDING]

Oh, man.

I've gotta go, you guys.
I'm really sorry. I gotta go.

What's going on?Why?

The river patrol's after me.

I'm actually not supposed
to be here, you know.

You have to have,
like, a permit,

it's like a government thing
to be here,
and I didn't get one.

If you see anybody,
any of the rangers
or anything,

just tell them
you didn't see me, okay?

MADS: Okay.

Okay, again, I'm really,
really sorry, man.

I wish I could stay, you know.

Take care, man.

All right. Take care, Mads.Nice to meet you.

I could stay.

[TRILLING]

[SIREN SOUNDING]

[PANTING]

[SCREAMING]

CARINE: It would be Christmas
in a couple of months,

and the last news
we'd had was about
his car being found.

I woke up
a couple of days ago,

and for the first time,
it bothered me

that it wasn't only my parents
who hadn't heard from Chris.

Honey?

It's me. I'm sorry.

Everything that happened,
it's my fault.

Give me another chance.

Please do that... Come on.

Do that for me.

Come on. They're calling
for another quarter
right now,

and I ain't got it,
so will you hurry it up?

Come on now,
don't hang up on me.

Hey, here's a quarter.

Thank you.

There's a quarter
just happened
out of the sky,

so I'm on here
talking to you
again.

I got the quarter
now, let's...

No, no, no,
no, no!

CARINE: I wondered why
he hadn't tried to call
in case I might answer.

He could've hung up
if it wasn't me.

Why wouldn't he send a letter,
maybe through a friend?

It hurt a little,

but I told myself it was good.

He knew I loved him enough
to bear with the not knowing.

And it helped me remember
that there was something
more than rebellion,

more than anger
that was driving him.

Chris had always been driven,
had always been an adventurer.

When he was four years old,

he once wandered
six blocks away from home

at 3:00 in the morning.

He was found
in a neighbor's kitchen

up on a chair,
digging through
their candy drawer.

Whatever drawer
he was opening now

must have something
pretty sweet in it.

OFFICER:
You lived in a cave
for 36 days?

CHRIS: Yes, sir.

And how did you
get into Mexico
in the first place?

Through the spillway
at Morelos Dam.

Mmm-hmm. River
dries out pretty quickly
beyond there, doesn't it?

Yeah. Turns
into a maze of
irrigation canals,

thanks to our dams up north.
So I ported my kayak
over the desert,

and I hitched
down to Golfo.

But after
a few weeks,

a sandstorm
came up and blew
the kayak away.

So I walked
back north.
Here I am.

Well, you just
can't be crossing
the borders

without
any identification.

Are we understood?Yes, sir.

I've eaten enough sand
to send me back
to the city anyway.

All right. Sit tight.
I'll be right back.

Some may ask,
"Why act now? Why not wait?"

The answer is clear.

The world could wait
no longer.

CARINE: In the letters
Chris wrote me from college,

it was clear
his anguish and problems

with Mom and Dad
had continued.

He said I was
the only person in the world

who could possibly understand
what he had to say.

WALT: With whose money
are you buying all
these goddamn presents?

BILLIE: I work.
The only reason I'm not
talking is because

you're wandering around
acting like the big-shot
flirt with everybody.

I am making the contacts
for this business to work!

You don't care at all
about what I do!

I don't even want
to talk to you
about it anymore!

Don't you walk
away from me, woman!

Woman!

Kids!
Look what your dad
is doing to me!

For God's sake,
look what your
mother is making me do!

Fuck you!
I hate you!

[SCREAMING]

WALT: There ain't
gonna be no party.

I'm gonna cancel
Christmas this year.

BILLIE: Cancel Christmas?

Who do you think
you are? God?

That's right!
I'm God!

Well, you're
not God.

You can't
cancel Christmas.

That's bullshit!

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Alex, I don't mean to be
on you about everything.
You're doing a great job.

I wanna keep you on
and we all wanna help
you get to Alaska,

but you've got to start
wearing socks.

CARINE: With almost
a year having passed
since Chris' disappearance,

my parents' anger,
their desperation,

their guilt
was giving way to pain.

And pain seemed
to bring them closer.

Even their faces had changed.

She convinces herself
it's Chris,

that it's her son
whenever she passes a stray.

And I fear
for the mother in her.

Instincts that seem to sense
the threat of a loss so huge

and irrevocable
that the mind balks
at taking its measure.

I'd begin to wonder
if I can understand

all that Chris
is saying any longer,

but I catch myself
and remember that

these are not the parents
he grew up with,

but people softened
by the forced reflection

that comes with loss.

Still, everything Chris
is saying has to be said.

And I trust for him that
everything he is doing
has to be done.

This is our life.

[MOOSE GRUNTING]

to come into Salton City
the day after Christmas.

I've got to start thinking
about getting ready
for Alaska.

When the sun gets
a little lower tonight,

I'm going to start
a calisthenics routine.

After the check comes in,
I think I'm gonna try to find

some big old mountains
I can climb every day
until spring comes.

I've got to see how far
the money's gonna go.

I've still got a lot
of supplies to pick up
before spring.

So, I might get another job
or I might be okay.

Hell, we'd give you
a little something for

the days you spend
in the booth here.

I'm not taking
any money
from you, Rainey.

It's been a real great twist
meeting you two.

You two look like
you're doing good.

We are doing good.Yeah?

We're doing real good.

Speaking of which,
don't you think

you ought to
introduce yourself

to our little Joni Mitchell
over there?

I...

[EXCLAIMING]

Hi.

Hi.

You selling these books?

I am. We are.

He was.

I like to read.

Do you?

Yeah.

That's good.

I heard you play
your song last night.

I'm terrible.

You are not terrible.
You sing sweet.

Thank you.

Um...

I was gonna go
take a walk to
Salvation Mountain.

You wanna go?

Okay.

Hi.Hi. Alex.

I'd like to show
you around up here.

I've been here since 1984,
more or less.

A lot of tourists
come in here

and they look at that
car door up there.

They really like it.

And I found car doors
and put them up there

and I bolted it all in.

CHRIS: Where did you get
the telephone poles?

A lot of people
in the valley
just love me a lot.

Everybody now, I think,
in the whole world
is just loving me.

And I want
to have the wisdom
to love them back.

And that's about it.
So I really
get excited.

CHRIS: You really
believe in love, then.

Yeah. Totally.

This is a love story
that is staggering

to everybody
in the whole world.

That God really
loves us a lot.

Does that answer that?

Yeah.Good.

OLD MAN:
I really love it here.

I think the freedom
of this place
is just so beautiful.

To me, I wouldn't move
for $10 million,
unless I had to.

[LAUGHING]

So I'm contented
here in the desert,

and I'm living
where I want to live.

And I think
good gets better.

And I think
those great big
tanks there

were the sewer plant
for the Marine base
in World War II.

If you want to,
you can try putting
your hands in there.

And I'm gonna do
the same thing,
just for the fun.

[OLD MAN LAUGHING]

You're doing
real good.

OLD MAN: You can wipe
your hands off
on my shirt if you want.

Mmm. This is starting
to make me hungry.

I was just
a couple of years older
than Tracy

when I got pregnant.

Wow.Yeah.

Yeah, I thought
my husband and I

were going to just
make peace on Earth

and babies and love
and stay together forever,

and that didn't
quite work out that way.

He left me.

So, I...

Anyway, whatever,
but I ended up
raising Reno on my own.

That's my boy,
his name's Reno.

Then I met Rainey.

That was sweet.
It was really good for
a while. It's just...

You know, Reno
was a teenager already
by then,

and he was just on his way
to becoming his own man.

And I haven't even heard
from him in two years.

I don't even know
where he is.

I hope I get to
meet him sometime.

Do your folks know
where you are?

Hey, guys?

Dinner's ready
if you guys are hungry.

Yeah, we are.
We're hungry.

I'll be all right.

You want to come
and eat?

Or we'll sit here.
Because I will sit here
with you all night.

Let's go. Let's go.

Guys, come on.
It's getting cold.

Check this out. Tawdry?
Denise, that sounds
like your cup of tea.

[GRUNTING]

That poor girl is about

So Jan talked to you
about Reno, huh?

Yeah.

Children can be
pretty harsh when it
comes to their parents.

You planning

I've only got
one plan, Rainey.

That would be Alaska?

Alaska.

Hello?

Come in here.

My parents
went into town.

No.

Yeah. They went to call
my grandma for Christmas.

No, I mean we can't do that.

Why not?

How old are you?

Eighteen.

Seventeen.

What year were you born?

So I'm 16.

You want to do

had begun to lay down

CHRIS: "I have lived
through much,

"and now I think I have found
what is needed for happiness.

"A quiet secluded life
in the country,

"with the possibility
of being useful to people

"to whom it is easy
to do good,

"and who are not accustomed
to have it done to them.

"And work which one hopes
may be of some use.

"Then rest, nature,
books, music,

"love for one's neighbor.

"Such is my idea of happiness.

"And then,
on top of all that,
you for a mate,

"and children perhaps.

You don't need

I have

I'm not destitute.

I'm living like this

Where's your family?

That's a shame.

Come on.

[LAUGHING]

[CLEARING THROAT]

It's getting
a little steep.

A little high
for me, kid.

All right,

but even from halfway out,
it's quite a sight,
isn't it?

From the top,
you can see all the way
to the Salton Sea, too.

You can see
the Salton Sea
from up there?

Yes, sir.

My goodness.

You don't
want to go up?

Nope. I don't do
these kind of things.

I spent most
of my life in the Army.

New Year's Eve, 1957,
I was stationed in Okinawa.

My wife and son
were here in the States
just driving down the road,

and some fella
who'd had too much to drink
plowed right into them.

Killed them both.

Now you might think
the last thing
I would do in the world

is go to the whiskey.

But at the time, it felt like
the only thing I could do.

And I did it hard!

But pretty soon I realized

I wasn't doing
my wife and son any good

mourning them with the bottle.

So I pulled myself together
and I quit drinking,

cold turkey.

So since all that,
this is pretty much me.

Do you ever travel, Mr. Franz?

No, I can't seem
to get too far
from my leather.

I do a lot
of leather engraving.

I got a little workshop
out in the garage.

Between that and my pension,
I do pretty well.

But every time I think
I might take a trip somewhere,

I get too far behind
on orders and such
to consider it.

When we finish eating,
I'd love to see
your workshop.

Would you?Oh, yeah.

I was hoping you'd say that.

It's amazing how
malleable this is.

Yeah, it is.

When the leather
is wet you can really...

It's like butter.Yeah.

It's amazing.
And then it hardens up,

and, I mean,
it stays right there.

[PANTING]

[CHATTERING]

A good whack with the mallet.
Crack it down. Whack. Bang.

I went to South Dakota.
I worked at a grain elevator

for this guy named Wayne.
He was a really good guy.

So I took the Colorado River

all the way down
through the Grand Canyon
and did rapids,

which is by far
one of the scariest
things I've ever done.

And I took the Colorado
down into Mexico,
Golfo, where I got stuck.

Salvation Mountain. The Slabs.

What's the "N" stand for?

North.

Alaska?

Son, what the hell
are you running from?

You know,
I can ask you
the same question!

Except I already
know the answer!

You do, do you?

I do, Mr. Franz!

You got to get
back out in the world!

Get out of that
lonely house,

that little workshop
of yours.

Get back out
on the road! Really!

You're going to live
a long time, Ron!

You should make
a radical change
in your lifestyle!

I mean,
the core of man's spirit
comes from new experiences.

And there you are,
stubborn old man,
sitting on your butt.

Sitting on my butt?

Yeah.

Ha!

I'll show you
sitting on my butt!

"Stubborn old man."

I'll show you!

Come on, then! Come on.

Sitting on my butt?
Ha! Yeah.

Come on, old man.
Come climbing.

Sitting on my butt.

Come on. Keep going!

[GROANING]

[LAUGHING]

You're doing great!

Keep going.
Keep going, Ron!

Yeah!

Can anybody see this?
God, are you watching
this right now?

Yeah.

You all right?

You little pinhead!

[LAUGHING]

[PANTING]

I'm gonna miss you
when you go.

I'll miss you, too, Ron.

But you're wrong
if you think that
the joy of life

comes principally from
human relationships.

God's placed
it all around us.
It's in everything.

It's in anything
we can experience.

People just need
to change the way
they look at those things.

Yeah, I'm gonna
take stock of that.

No, I am.

I am.

But I wanted
to tell you something.

From the bits and pieces
I put together,

you know, from
what you told me about

your family, your mother
and your dad.

And I know you've
got your problems
with the church, too.

But there's some
kind of bigger thing
we can all appreciate,

and it sounds like
you don't mind
calling it God.

But when you forgive,

you love.

And when you love,

God's light shines on you.

Holy shit.

I told you
about that language.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

RON: I told you so!

[GUN FIRING]

CHRIS: Where are
the fucking animals now?

I'm hungry!

I'm fucking hungry!
I'm fucking hungry!

CHRIS: "For a moment

"she rediscovered
the purpose of her life.

"She was here on earth
to grasp the meaning of
its wild enchantment,

"and to call each thing
by its right name."

"By its right name."

What is this?
What is this one?

[MUTTERING]

This is Viburnum edule.
Viburnum edule.

Hedysarum alpinum.

Hedysarum alpinum
is wild potato root.

Wild potato root.

Epilobium angustifolium.
Fireweed.

Whoa.

[WHIMPERING]

Fuck it all. Fuck it all!

[COUGHING]

[RETCHING]

[GROANING]

Hi.

What are you doing up?
It's 3:30 in the morning.

I heard you get off the couch
about a half hour ago.

Had a funny feeling you might
not be here for our breakfast.

I'm gonna drive you
100 miles

to someplace where
you can catch a train,

a plane or hitch a ride
and not get stuck out
in this desert.

I'd take you
all the way to Alaska

if I didn't
have an 8:00 mass.

Ron, you don't
have to do that.

I want to do it.

Get you started on
this thing of yours.

On my great...I know.

On your great
Alaskan adventure.

Here. Here's a machete.

Collapsible fishing pole,

a few other odds and ends
I stuck in there for you.

Ron...Just take it.

I'll get dressed
and meet you in the truck.

Well, my friend.

Yep.

I had an idea.

You know,
my mother was
an only child

and so was my father,

and I was
their only child,

so when I'm gone,
I'm the end of the line.

My family will be finished.

What do you say
you let me adopt you?

I can be, say,
your grandfather.

Ron,

could we talk about this
when I get back from Alaska?

Would that be okay?

Yeah, yeah.
We can do that. Yeah.

All right, Ron.

Thank you.

CARINE: What did his
voice sound like now?

What would he tell about now?

ALL: ...nine, ten.

I realized that
the words to my thoughts

were of less
and less meaning.

Chris was writing his story,

and it had to be
Chris who would tell it.

CHRIS: "To call each thing
by its right name.

"By its right name."

[HEART BEATING]

What if I were smiling

and running into your arms?

Would you see then

what I see now?
