He Is My Brother (1975) - full transcript
Two shipwrecked boys become the focal point of a religious power struggle.
NARRATOR: In ancient times
there was one disease
feared above all
others, leprosy.
In the 19th century when
the disease broke out
in the Hawaiian Islands
governments panicked,
heads of state acted
rashly, and cruelly.
Any victim who showed
signs of the disease
was uprooted from his home
and sent to a remote island,
forced to live the rest of
his life in total isolation.
The lepers lived
in fear and shame
without houses,
crops, sanitation,
nor medical help of any kind.
The island was nothing more than
an inhumane prison that turned
lepers into animals
struggling for survival.
Then a priest came to
live among these people.
His name was Joseph Damian.
At first the lepers
were suspicious.
Who was this god he served?
Damien began to work with the
people then building houses
and improving their
living conditions.
He shamed the government into
increasing the meager shipments
of food, clothing,
and medical supplies.
He set up a school to
educate the children.
After 16 years of service Damien
himself fell victim to leprosy,
but not before giving
hope to these people
and bringing worldwide
attention to their plite.
Our story, although fiction, is
inspired by the works of Damien
and based on his
successor to the island
a man whom we call
Brother Dalton.
Almost at once Brother Dalton
was confronted by the Kahuna,
once a spiritual
leader who had lost
control when the lepers
turned to Christian teachings.
In his bid to regain
power the Kahuna
contended that
leprosy was a curse
brought to Hawaii
by the white man.
And that if the whites
were driven out the plague
would go with them.
The people listened, for the
Kahuna emphasized his message
through what seemed to
be supernatural feats.
It was during this
time of tension
that two brothers tragically
arrived on the island.

I thought you'd never wake up.

-I'm Randall Remington,
but I am known
to my closer
acquaintances as Randy.

And this is Kiko.

[INAUDIBLE]
Come on.
No time to waste.
Breakfast in one hour.
Hinu?
Come here.
-What smells?
It's awful.
-[INAUDIBLE].
How do you feel today?
-I think I'll be all right.
What's the matter
with your face?
-Only my leper
[INAUDIBLE] that's all.
-[INAUDIBLE].
-He's never seen
blonde hair before.
He thinks you're some kind
of a baby Hawaiian spirit.
[LAUGHS]
Hinu here will be your guide
as long as you're here.
And, uh, if you ask him to he
speaks pretty good English.
-Righto.

Not, not now.

keep Randy out of trouble.
That's for today and tomorrow.
Do you understand?
Well, how would you
like to go and find
some eggs for
breakfast with Hinu?
-Yes.
-Come on.
We got [INAUDIBLE].
JEFF: Leprosy?
Get away!
Get away!
Don't come near me!
God, you've been, you've been
feeding me all this time.
-Son, you're all right.
You're not going
to catch anything.
-What you mean I'm not
going to catch anything?
Look.
They're all around me!
Randy, come here!
Randy!
-Now look, boy.
Randy's all right.
-He might be all right now,
but what about tomorrow
or the day after that?
-Will you stop it?
There's a boat coming tomorrow.
You do not catch
leprosy in two days.
-My god, where are we?
BROTHER DALTON: In a
settlement for lepers.
-Are you all right?
-I certainly am.
How'd you like a 10
pound soft boiled egg
for breakfast? [INAUDIBLE]
for my brother.
-Just stay away
from these people.
They're all diseased.
-I'll take care of him.
Hinu, you go collect
the eggs by yourself.
You come with me, Randy.
Oh, it's OK.
I'm clean.
See?
Come on.
-What's wrong with Randy?
-He's perfectly all right.
So I see no reason to him
about what has happened as yet.
I mean, by the time-- Jeff?
Jeff?
Jeff, listen to me.
Now the lord must have had some
reason for sparing your life.
You're young, you're healthy.
You've got much to
look forward to.
Look at these people
all around you.
They have so much less than you.
-I don't want to look at them.
-Kiko, I don't think
he appreciates us.
-Ah, I take him to luau tonight.

-Thank you.
[CROWD CHATTERING]
-You're Kahuna has
come again to ask
you to return to the old ways.
The ways of your gods.
For they alone can take
your afflictions from you.
In the old days
the land was yours
and you didn't have to work.
Now they land belongs to the
white man and you are poor.
[INAUDIBLE] when you are
sick they put you in prison.
-Enough.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-Have given me the
power to do this.
Can your white god make
any of you this strong.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-I don't believe it.
-Jeff!
-That's really hot.
How'd you--
-[INAUDIBLE]!
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-If I had fallen into the pit
and died it would have nothing
compared with the issue
you have given the gods
by destroying the
bones of our ancestors.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Days ago I prayed
that [INAUDIBLE] would
spare your life
and send you to me.
Now I can see your
spirit is [INAUDIBLE].
-Brother Dalton!
[INAUDIBLE] at the luau.
Come.
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
That is your blood,
Mr. Remington.
The gods have spoken for it.
Each day your spirit will
sink further into the earth.
When it is gone you
will be no more.
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
It is no matter.
The bones have been destroyed.
Perhaps is it the wishes of the
gods that our race be no more.
-Why don't you go back to
the other side of the island
where you belong.
You leave that alone.
Don't [INAUDIBLE].

-Hinu, now your job for today

[ANIMAL WHISTLING]
-Good morning, Master Remington.
I've been waiting to meet you.
-Nice to make your

-OK, Brother Dalton.

-Hey, Jeff?
You gonna cry?
-No, I'm not gonna cry.
I'm gonna kick your
little behind all
the way down to the beach.
Dalton!
Why didn't you
tell them to wait?
You knew we had to
get out of this place.
Why wasn't somebody
watching my brother?
When will the boat be back?
-In three weeks.
-Three.
How long will it take
us to walk another port
on the other side of the island?
-The soldiers up
on that mountain
won't let you through the
pass without permission
of the government.
-Dammit.
What are you trying to do?
We stay here another day
we'll catch leprosy for sure.
-I've been trying to catch
leprosy for 10 years.
-Trying?
What kind of a person are you?
-I don't know what
kind of a person I am.
I can tell you what
kind of a person I was.
I was a reckless, arrogant
young people fool yourself.
Now I'm trying to
pay for my sins.
Trying to help these people.
And in helping them
I'm helping myself.
-You are crazy.
-I know this is a
miserable place.
I need help to keep it going.
I wish to god I could get help.
I'd give my right
arm for help, but I
don't need an
immature brat like you
to come along and create
a problem with the Kahuna.
-What are you talking about?
-I have tried my
damnedest for years
to avoid a confrontation
with that witch doctor.
Last night I jeopardized
this entire settlement
to save your neck.
You're the biggest pain
in the ass I ever met.
I wish I were rid of you!
-You're nuts!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHILDREN PLAYING]
-[INAUDIBLE] Hinu, get me down.
[INAUDIBLE]
Help!
-Randy!
What are you doing?
Come on.
Get off of there right now.
Told you to stay
away from these kids.
-My turn.
-Then with whom am
I going to play?
I cannot okay with you
because you're such a grouch.
-Never mind that.
-Randy, help!
-I'm coming.
Now get off of him.
-Randy!
Get off of him.
What'd I just tell you?
Now I want you to go
and wash right now.
And I mean scrub.
Go on!
[INAUDIBLE]
What's the matter with you?
Kiko?
Kiko?
-Yeah?
-Have we got any rope?
-In here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-What do you think, Kiko?
-Good.
-All right.
Come on.
Don't you wanna get on it?
OK.
Go ahead.
Uh, too high, I'm afraid.
OK.
Hang on there.
OK.
Now hold on real tight.
Hold on--
Are you ready?
-Yeah.
-There you go.
You like that?
-Yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GIGGLING]
-Hello.
-[INAUDIBLE].
-Pardon me?
-I'm [INAUDIBLE].
-Did you give these to me?
--[INAUDIBLE] for gods,
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-What?
-What's the matter?
You no speak English or what?
-[LAUGHS] No, I guess not.
-Come.
GROUP: Our father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Honored as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
[INAUDIBLE] trespasses
as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
are waiting for the people.
-God will protect you.
God will to protect you.
The Kahuna can do you no harm.
-You are right, Brother Dalton.
I cannot harm my people.
Your white demon
god is harming them.
Before the white men came
we had no leprosy here.
[INAUDIBLE] has just killed
three more of my people.
There is no need to
die from this disease.
If you make prayers and
offerings to your own gods,
they will cure you.
How can you be satisfied
with a white man's god
when all he gives you
is pain and death?
-And this devil will give you
nothing but lot of tricks.
You look on the other
side of that roof
and you'll find a servant
of the Kahuna hiding there.
-There's no one here.
-Brother Dalton, have you
looked at your spear lately?
It's almost gone.
What are you going to
do now that my people
no longer listen to you?
-Dalton!
-You stupid white man.
You never know
when you're beaten.
That is your virtue
and your shortcoming.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-[INAUDIBLE].
-[INAUDIBLE].
We need more [INAUDIBLE].
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-You remember now, don't you?
-I miss them so much.
-I know, Randy.
They're with us in spirit.
They gave us enough
love to last a lifetime.
-But I still miss them.
-Me too, pal.
But we're alive.
Pretty soon we're gonna
get off this island.
-Jeff?
-Huh?
-How come all you ever think
is getting off this island?
Why do you hate these people so?
-I don't hate them, Randy.
Just don't us to catch
leprosy from them.
That's all.
-Kahuna says it
was the white man
who brought the disease here.
-The Kahuna would say
anything to regain his power.
-Aren't you afraid
of the spears?
When they sink into
the ground something
terrible will happen
to you and Dalton.
-No, I'm not afraid.
They're just tricks, Randy.
-I don't know.
It's different with the Kahuna.
When he looked into my eyes,
[INAUDIBLE] really strange.
Like something was
controlling me.
-Randy, listen to me.
Many years ago the Kahuna lost
his power of these people.
Well, now he senses
Dalton is becoming week
and he's using ever trick he
knows to win these people back.
And you know and I
know that's all it is.
It's just tricks.
Just wish I could prove that
to a few others around here.
-Then [INAUDIBLE] like
the people on this island,
don't you, Jeff?
-Yeah, I guess I do.
They're very warm people.
[INAUDIBLE]
Feel like taking a walk.
-OK.
-Come on.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-[INAUDIBLE] won't see me again.
I asked her if she'd go to
the hospital in Honolulu
to have her baby.
[INAUDIBLE]
[BANGING]
[INAUDIBLE] way we
won't have to be around
when the Board of Health
takes the baby away.
-Mrs. [INAUDIBLE], Brother
Dalton's not coming in with me.
Mrs. [INAUDIBLE]?
-Go away.
We okie dokie.
-You must bathe and
change your bandages.
You understand?
-Okie dokie.
-Baby.
Honolulu.
Baby.
-Mrs. [INAUDIBLE], your
baby's due in a month.
Would like to take
a boat to Honolulu?
-Kahuna help us with baby.
-Brother Dalton.
-What are you doing here?
-Well, we were having dinner.
-Well, I thought you
were going to eat
with us over at my place.
-Randy!
Just because I let those
boys help me with the swing
doesn't mean you can
start living with them.
Now.
You've been eating with them.
Come on.
-[INAUDIBLE].
It's all right, isn't
it, Brother Dalton?
I'm not gonna catch
anything am I?
-What's the matter with him?
-The people have been
rejecting our help.
He could stand some cheering up.
-All right.
I'll try.
Uh, no thank you.
-Well, all of us need a
little every now and then.
-Brother Dalton, I've,
um, had a chance to think.
And I think I'm
beginning to understand
what's going on around here.
I just want to say I'm sorry
if I caused any trouble.
-Well, that's all right, Jeff.
Wasn't your fault what
happened with the Kahuna.
No matter what you
would have done
he'd have found some way
to force a show down.
-It's only voodoo and doesn't
work unless you believe in it.
-You don't believe in it
and I don't believe in it,
but those people out
there believe in it.
-Are you sure you
don't believe in it?
-Well, they're tricks.
That's all.
You run along.
I'm just going to sit here for
a few moments and cool off.
Go ahead.
-You sure you're all right?
-Sure, of course I'm
all right. [INAUDIBLE].
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[HUMMING]
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
What you are doing you know will
bring you great unhappiness.
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-Maybe it is better
you don't spend
so much time with
that young man.
What happens when he leaves?
You have been preparing
this for awhile.
Your grandmother used
to make the [INAUDIBLE]
and the [INAUDIBLE] for me.
-You should be telling
her not to interfere
with the wishes of
the [INAUDIBLE].
He must die.
-Jeff die?
-He does not care for you.
He's a liar like all whites.
[INAUDIBLE], you already have
enough sorrows in your life.
I only want to spare you more.
-Let your daughter be.
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-Let her have it.
She needs it!
-Those Christian liars
have turned your head, too.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].

-Surprise?
-See if can guess what it is.
-Flower?
-No.

-Baseball.

This was my mother's.
And I want you to have it.
-You give this to me?
-Why don't you put it on?
Oh.
Okie dokie?
-Now.
-It's beautiful.
-Come.
You sit down.
And I will dance for you.
Luanu's dance tells
story of Jeff and Luanu.
[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-(SINGING) You are
close to heart.
You are close to my own
heart and this heart I give,
it is yours for you alone.
[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-[INAUDIBLE] means dear heart.

Many warrior die.
So we not stay for long.
-Why not?
I feel like we can see the
whole world from up here.
-[INAUDIBLE].
Ghost come sometimes.
-Then, uh, why did
you bring me up here?
-You could pass over
mountain over here.
Only Kahuna
[INAUDIBLE] know pass.
You want to leave here now?
I could show you.
-I think I'll wait for the boat.
-This magic leaping off place.
You kiss me here and

Oh, we come here at wrong time.

-Come on.
We better get back
before the [INAUDIBLE].
[DRUM BEATING]
-Are you all right?
-Yeah, I guess so.
-Well, where have you been?
-Trying to figure
out what to do next.
-What's going on?
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-Yes, I think our
problems are just
about over, Father Ambrose.
Only birds, angels, and
devils can really fly.
-There was Leonardo DaVinci.
-DaVinci did not fly.
He almost killed himself.
-Scientifically, he did fly.
It was just the people of that
time they wouldn't accept it.
-If the Pope hadn't
have intervened
he would have been executed
for consorting with the devil.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-What's Kiko doing?
-Oh, that's the
only vice Kiko has.
He'll bet on
anything [INAUDIBLE].
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Watch out, Randy!
-Help!
-Stop Randy!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[YELLING]
-Hey, look.
There's another one.
-Help!
-Oh my god in heaven.
It's Randy up there.
-What?
-Kiko, on the double!
-[INAUDIBLE].
Help!
[INAUDIBLE]
-No!
You stay here.
Let's get it out!
Go!
-Didn't everybody see me?
Wasn't I wonderful?
-Randy, why did you do that?
-I couldn't help it.
[INAUDIBLE] lifted me up.
-Come on, Randy.
Don't me give me that.
-Well, what do you
think of him now?
The boy just did what the
Kahuna said he alone could do.
Are you still afraid
of his trickery?
-You are a sign [INAUDIBLE].
You will be [INAUDIBLE].
Days ago I prayed
that [INAUDIBLE] would
spare your life and allow
you to be my [INAUDIBLE].
-Sister Agnes, take the children
and yourself away from here
before they witness
the kind of violence
that men are
sometimes driven to.
You demented son of bitch.
You would kill that
beautiful child
just to prove your witchcraft?
If I ever see you
around here again,
I'm gonna break
your goddamn neck.
And may god damn my soul for it.
-Brother Dalton will be dead
by tomorrow from [INAUDIBLE].
Then we shall drive the
rest of the white demons
from this island.
-Kiko, from now on
I want you to keep
your eye on Randy every second.
-I'm not worried so much for
Randy as for you, Brother.
-You know you're right.
I haven't been
that angry since I
was a foolish young
man in the war.
-I know that kind of anger.
That anger only
show [INAUDIBLE].
-I think I'll go to confession.
-Look.
Now you believe?
[INAUDIBLE], the
cave [INAUDIBLE].
[INAUDIBLE] the shark

You go catch [INAUDIBLE] now.
-What?
-You must catch eel.
-You mean in there?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I can't find anything.
-Go get eel!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I got the eel, Jeff!
Come, Jeff.
Feed this to the eel.
-What?
-Feed to the eel.
Now you throw back eel in water.
-Luanu?
Now what was that all about?
-If you die, eel die, too.
-Terrific.
-Eel [INAUDIBLE] best friend.
[INAUDIBLE] no
wants the eel die.
So you must not die.
-I can't help it.
I don't know what to do.
I want to help these people.
They won't listen to me anymore.
And it's not because
of the Kahuna.
It's me.
-Without your efforts,
the settlement
couldn't have lasted this long.
-I've been jamming god
down their throats.
I've been taking from them.
Not giving.
-Brother Dalton, none of us
can ever change who we are.
-Everything.
-We all have different
ways of loving.
-We're going to lose everything.
-Dammit!
You are the most
bloody tempered,
stubborn bull-headed
man I've ever known.
But I also have never known
anyone was worked as hard
as you have for the
benefit of others.
-Well, I feel that
god's rejecting me.
[INAUDIBLE] you're the
only who knows the life
I led before I came here.
-Why do you think
god has rejected you?
-Because I can't
stop the Kahuna.
And because of this.
I've wanted it for years.
Well, I have it.
Did it ever occur to you
that god isn't rejecting you?
That maybe you're rejecting god?
-Rejecting god?
-The Kahuna has convinced you.
-But look at me!
-Don't you see?
If god is doing
this to you, it's
not the Kahuna's, but yours.
And if your faith were as
strong as the Kahuna's, you
would trust in god.
And believe.

She's blonde, beautiful blue

It's only one problem though.
She's only five years old.
A little too long to

Luanu, I was thinking that,
uh, when Randy and I leave
here, well, would
you come with us?
-But this my home.
-I know that, but there's
no future for you here.
And your people
are, are trying just
to survive for today without
any thought of tomorrow.
Luanu, there's so much
of the world to see.
And there's so much to do.
-What you do when you go back?
-Well, my father's a, my
father was an inventor.
I guess I'll just pick
up where he left off.
-What is that inventor?
-Well, it's when you create
something new, usually
to make things
better for people.
-You invent cure
for our [INAUDIBLE]?
--[LAUGHS] Well, I'm not
that kind of inventor.
I do know that
doctors and scientists
are working on that right now.
And actually it's
not as bad I thought.
It can be controlled and
maybe some day even cured.
-You want make better for
people, why you no stay here
and help?
-I just can't
continue to let Randy
be exposed to the leprosy.
I'm not even sure
I could ever get
used to being around lepers.
Luanu, what are you doing?
Luanu?
Oh my god.

He doesn't know.
-What are you saying?
Dalton, wake up!
I need your help!
-I can't help you.
And I can't help myself.
I'm dying.
-You're dying?
You told me you couldn't die
from leprosy in a couple days,
remember?
-I've been praying
[INAUDIBLE] every day.
Every [INAUDIBLE] I pray.
I'm sorry.
-You're sorry.
Why don't you stop feeling
sorry for yourself?
You pathetic drunk.

And at night her hair

[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Have you been here all night?
-Yeah.
-Brother Dalton says the
boat will be coming soon.
I was thinking.
When we go back, I would like
to stay with Aunt Margarette.
And I also thought
we wouldn't be
able to see each other as often.
-Yes, and you also thought.
-Well, in that case,
we should stay here.
To help.
Brother Dalton
could use your help.
Even if it is for
a little while.
I love you, Jeff.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Now where did you
get that spear.
-[INAUDIBLE] gave it to me.
-Oh, I see.
Where's your brother?
I hope he's not going
to miss one, too.
-Ah, [INAUDIBLE].
Didn't he tell you?
[INAUDIBLE]
But I have to get an education.
-Oh, I see.
Well, now when you
get your education,
and you decide you wanna come
back here, you can come back.
-But I'm perfectly capable of
making that decision right now.
-[LAUGHS] Aloha, Randy.
-Bye, Kiko.
-Take it out!
-Aloha!
-Aloha!
Bye, Kiko!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
there was one disease
feared above all
others, leprosy.
In the 19th century when
the disease broke out
in the Hawaiian Islands
governments panicked,
heads of state acted
rashly, and cruelly.
Any victim who showed
signs of the disease
was uprooted from his home
and sent to a remote island,
forced to live the rest of
his life in total isolation.
The lepers lived
in fear and shame
without houses,
crops, sanitation,
nor medical help of any kind.
The island was nothing more than
an inhumane prison that turned
lepers into animals
struggling for survival.
Then a priest came to
live among these people.
His name was Joseph Damian.
At first the lepers
were suspicious.
Who was this god he served?
Damien began to work with the
people then building houses
and improving their
living conditions.
He shamed the government into
increasing the meager shipments
of food, clothing,
and medical supplies.
He set up a school to
educate the children.
After 16 years of service Damien
himself fell victim to leprosy,
but not before giving
hope to these people
and bringing worldwide
attention to their plite.
Our story, although fiction, is
inspired by the works of Damien
and based on his
successor to the island
a man whom we call
Brother Dalton.
Almost at once Brother Dalton
was confronted by the Kahuna,
once a spiritual
leader who had lost
control when the lepers
turned to Christian teachings.
In his bid to regain
power the Kahuna
contended that
leprosy was a curse
brought to Hawaii
by the white man.
And that if the whites
were driven out the plague
would go with them.
The people listened, for the
Kahuna emphasized his message
through what seemed to
be supernatural feats.
It was during this
time of tension
that two brothers tragically
arrived on the island.

acquaintances as Randy.
-I'm Father Ambrose.
And this is Kiko.
-Hello, Randy.

How do you feel today?

What's the matter
with your face?
-Only my leper
[INAUDIBLE] that's all.
-[INAUDIBLE].
-He's never seen

He thinks you're some kind
of a baby Hawaiian spirit.
[LAUGHS]
Hinu here will be your guide

going to catch anything?
Look.
They're all around me!
Randy, come here!

-Now look, boy.
Randy's all right.
-He might be all right now,
but what about tomorrow
or the day after that?
-Will you stop it?
There's a boat coming tomorrow.
You do not catch
leprosy in two days.
-My god, where are we?
BROTHER DALTON: In a
settlement for lepers.
-Are you all right?
-I certainly am.
How'd you like a 10
pound soft boiled egg
for breakfast? [INAUDIBLE]
for my brother.
-Just stay away
from these people.
They're all diseased.
-I'll take care of him.
Hinu, you go collect
the eggs by yourself.
You come with me, Randy.
Oh, it's OK.
I'm clean.
See?
Come on.
-What's wrong with Randy?
-He's perfectly all right.
So I see no reason to him
about what has happened as yet.
I mean, by the time-- Jeff?
Jeff?
Jeff, listen to me.
Now the lord must have had some
reason for sparing your life.
You're young, you're healthy.
You've got much to

Look at these people

They have so much less than you.

Why wasn't somebody

When will the boat be back?
-In three weeks.
-Three.
How long will it take
us to walk another port

-The soldiers up

won't let you through the
pass without permission
of the government.
-Dammit.
What are you trying to do?
We stay here another day
we'll catch leprosy for sure.
-I've been trying to catch
leprosy for 10 years.
-Trying?
What kind of a person are you?
-I don't know what
kind of a person I am.
I can tell you what
kind of a person I was.
I was a reckless, arrogant
young people fool yourself.
Now I'm trying to
pay for my sins.
Trying to help these people.
And in helping them
I'm helping myself.
-You are crazy.
-I know this is a
miserable place.
I need help to keep it going.
I wish to god I could get help.
I'd give my right
arm for help, but I
don't need an
immature brat like you
to come along and create
a problem with the Kahuna.
-What are you talking about?
-I have tried my
damnedest for years
to avoid a confrontation
with that witch doctor.
Last night I jeopardized
this entire settlement
to save your neck.
You're the biggest pain
in the ass I ever met.
I wish I were rid of you!

-God will protect you.
God will to protect you.
The Kahuna can do you no harm.
-You are right, Brother Dalton.
I cannot harm my people.
Your white demon
god is harming them.
Before the white men came
we had no leprosy here.
[INAUDIBLE] has just killed
three more of my people.
There is no need to
die from this disease.
If you make prayers and
offerings to your own gods,
they will cure you.
How can you be satisfied
with a white man's god
when all he gives you
is pain and death?
-And this devil will give you
nothing but lot of tricks.
You look on the other
side of that roof
and you'll find a servant
of the Kahuna hiding there.
-There's no one here.
-Brother Dalton, have you
looked at your spear lately?
It's almost gone.
What are you going to
do now that my people
no longer listen to you?
-Dalton!
-You stupid white man.
You never know
when you're beaten.
That is your virtue
and your shortcoming.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-[INAUDIBLE].
-[INAUDIBLE].
We need more [INAUDIBLE].
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-You remember now, don't you?
-I miss them so much.
-I know, Randy.
They're with us in spirit.
They gave us enough
love to last a lifetime.
-But I still miss them.
-Me too, pal.
But we're alive.
Pretty soon we're gonna
get off this island.
-Jeff?
-Huh?
-How come all you ever think
is getting off this island?
Why do you hate these people so?
-I don't hate them, Randy.
Just don't us to catch
leprosy from them.
That's all.
-Kahuna says it
was the white man
who brought the disease here.
-The Kahuna would say
anything to regain his power.
-Aren't you afraid
of the spears?
When they sink into
the ground something
terrible will happen
to you and Dalton.
-No, I'm not afraid.
They're just tricks, Randy.
-I don't know.
It's different with the Kahuna.
When he looked into my eyes,
[INAUDIBLE] really strange.
Like something was
controlling me.
-Randy, listen to me.
Many years ago the Kahuna lost
his power of these people.
Well, now he senses
Dalton is becoming week
and he's using ever trick he
knows to win these people back.
And you know and I
know that's all it is.
It's just tricks.
Just wish I could prove that
to a few others around here.
-Then [INAUDIBLE] like
the people on this island,
don't you, Jeff?
-Yeah, I guess I do.
They're very warm people.
[INAUDIBLE]
Feel like taking a walk.
-OK.
-Come on.

takes the baby away.
-Mrs. [INAUDIBLE], Brother
Dalton's not coming in with me.

-Go away.
We okie dokie.
-You must bathe and
change your bandages.
You understand?
-Okie dokie.
-Baby.
Honolulu.
Baby.
-Mrs. [INAUDIBLE], your
baby's due in a month.
Would like to take
a boat to Honolulu?
-Kahuna help us with baby.
-Brother Dalton.
-What are you doing here?
-Well, we were having dinner.
-Well, I thought you
were going to eat
with us over at my place.
-Randy!
Just because I let those
boys help me with the swing
doesn't mean you can
start living with them.
Now.
You've been eating with them.
Come on.
-[INAUDIBLE].
It's all right, isn't
it, Brother Dalton?
I'm not gonna catch
anything am I?
-What's the matter with him?
-The people have been
rejecting our help.
He could stand some cheering up.
-All right.
I'll try.
Uh, no thank you.
-Well, all of us need a
little every now and then.
-Brother Dalton, I've,
um, had a chance to think.
And I think I'm
beginning to understand
what's going on around here.
I just want to say I'm sorry
if I caused any trouble.
-Well, that's all right, Jeff.
Wasn't your fault what
happened with the Kahuna.
No matter what you
would have done
he'd have found some way
to force a show down.
-It's only voodoo and doesn't
work unless you believe in it.
-You don't believe in it
and I don't believe in it,
but those people out
there believe in it.

so much time with
that young man.
What happens when he leaves?
You have been preparing
this for awhile.
Your grandmother used
to make the [INAUDIBLE]
and the [INAUDIBLE] for me.
-You should be telling
her not to interfere
with the wishes of
the [INAUDIBLE].
He must die.
-Jeff die?
-He does not care for you.
He's a liar like all whites.
[INAUDIBLE], you already have
enough sorrows in your life.
I only want to spare you more.

Many warrior die.
So we not stay for long.

I feel like we can see the
whole world from up here.
-[INAUDIBLE].
Ghost come sometimes.
-Then, uh, why did
you bring me up here?
-You could pass over
mountain over here.
Only Kahuna
[INAUDIBLE] know pass.
You want to leave here now?
I could show you.
-I think I'll wait for the boat.
-This magic leaping off place.
You kiss me here and
you'll never leave me.
[WAILING SOUNDS]
Oh, we come here at wrong time.

-Are you all right?
-Yeah, I guess so.
-Well, where have you been?
-Trying to figure
out what to do next.
-What's going on?
-[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-Yes, I think our
problems are just
about over, Father Ambrose.
Only birds, angels, and
devils can really fly.
-There was Leonardo DaVinci.
-DaVinci did not fly.
He almost killed himself.
-Scientifically, he did fly.
It was just the people of that
time they wouldn't accept it.
-If the Pope hadn't
have intervened
he would have been executed
for consorting with the devil.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
-What's Kiko doing?

There's another one.

-Oh my god in heaven.
It's Randy up there.
-What?
-Kiko, on the double!
-[INAUDIBLE].
Help!
[INAUDIBLE]
-No!
You stay here.
Let's get it out!
Go!
-Didn't everybody see me?
Wasn't I wonderful?
-Randy, why did you do that?
-I couldn't help it.
[INAUDIBLE] lifted me up.
-Come on, Randy.
Don't me give me that.
-Well, what do you
think of him now?
The boy just did what the
Kahuna said he alone could do.
Are you still afraid
of his trickery?
-You are a sign [INAUDIBLE].
You will be [INAUDIBLE].
Days ago I prayed
that [INAUDIBLE] would
spare your life and allow
you to be my [INAUDIBLE].
-Sister Agnes, take the children
and yourself away from here
before they witness
the kind of violence
that men are
sometimes driven to.
You demented son of bitch.
You would kill that
beautiful child
just to prove your witchcraft?
If I ever see you
around here again,
I'm gonna break
your goddamn neck.
And may god damn my soul for it.
-Brother Dalton will be dead
by tomorrow from [INAUDIBLE].
Then we shall drive the
rest of the white demons
from this island.
-Kiko, from now on
I want you to keep
your eye on Randy every second.
-I'm not worried so much for
Randy as for you, Brother.
-You know you're right.
I haven't been
that angry since I
was a foolish young
man in the war.
-I know that kind of anger.
That anger only
show [INAUDIBLE].
-I think I'll go to confession.
-Look.
Now you believe?
[INAUDIBLE], the
cave [INAUDIBLE].
[INAUDIBLE] the shark
god help you now.
You go catch [INAUDIBLE] now.
-What?
-You must catch eel.
-You mean in there?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I can't find anything.
-Go get eel!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I got the eel, Jeff!
Come, Jeff.
Feed this to the eel.
-What?
-Feed to the eel.
Now you throw back eel in water.
-Luanu?
Now what was that all about?
-If you die, eel die, too.
-Terrific.
-Eel [INAUDIBLE] best friend.
[INAUDIBLE] no
wants the eel die.
So you must not die.
-I can't help it.
I don't know what to do.
I want to help these people.
They won't listen to me anymore.
And it's not because
of the Kahuna.
It's me.
-Without your efforts,
the settlement
couldn't have lasted this long.
-I've been jamming god
down their throats.
I've been taking from them.
Not giving.
-Brother Dalton, none of us
can ever change who we are.
-Everything.
-We all have different
ways of loving.
-We're going to lose everything.
-Dammit!
You are the most
bloody tempered,
stubborn bull-headed
man I've ever known.
But I also have never known
anyone was worked as hard
as you have for the
benefit of others.
-Well, I feel that
god's rejecting me.
[INAUDIBLE] you're the
only who knows the life
I led before I came here.
-Why do you think
god has rejected you?
-Because I can't
stop the Kahuna.
And because of this.
I've wanted it for years.
Well, I have it.
Did it ever occur to you
that god isn't rejecting you?
That maybe you're rejecting god?
-Rejecting god?
-The Kahuna has convinced you.
-But look at me!
-Don't you see?
If god is doing
this to you, it's
not the Kahuna's, but yours.
And if your faith were as
strong as the Kahuna's, you
would trust in god.
And believe.

-You miss anybody from
where you come from?
-Well, as a matter of fact I do.
She lives right next door.
She's blonde, beautiful blue
eyes, and how she could kiss.
It's only one problem though.
She's only five years old.
A little too long to
wait, don't you think?
Luanu, I was thinking that,
uh, when Randy and I leave
here, well, would
you come with us?
-But this my home.
-I know that, but there's
no future for you here.
And your people
are, are trying just
to survive for today without
any thought of tomorrow.
Luanu, there's so much
of the world to see.
And there's so much to do.
-What you do when you go back?
-Well, my father's a, my
father was an inventor.
I guess I'll just pick
up where he left off.
-What is that inventor?
-Well, it's when you create
something new, usually
to make things
better for people.
-You invent cure
for our [INAUDIBLE]?
--[LAUGHS] Well, I'm not
that kind of inventor.
I do know that
doctors and scientists
are working on that right now.
And actually it's
not as bad I thought.
It can be controlled and
maybe some day even cured.
-You want make better for
people, why you no stay here
and help?
-I just can't
continue to let Randy
be exposed to the leprosy.
I'm not even sure
I could ever get
used to being around lepers.
Luanu, what are you doing?
Luanu?
Oh my god.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Randy?
Come with me.
[ROOSTER CROWS]
[CROWD CHATTERING]
-Hey, what's going on?
-Kahuna's got Randy.
-What?
-Kahuna got Randy.
-Dalton!
Dalton!
He's got Randy!
He'll kill him.
We gotta stop him.
Dalton!
Please come with me!
I need your help!
-He can't hear you.
He doesn't know.
-What are you saying?
Dalton, wake up!
I need your help!
-I can't help you.
And I can't help myself.
I'm dying.
-You're dying?
You told me you couldn't die
from leprosy in a couple days,
remember?
-I've been praying
[INAUDIBLE] every day.
Every [INAUDIBLE] I pray.
I'm sorry.
-You're sorry.
Why don't you stop feeling
sorry for yourself?
You pathetic drunk.
Father Ambrose.
What's the matter
with you people?
You all afraid of a
lousy witch doctor?
--[LABORED BREATHING]
There's, there's only
one way to help [INAUDIBLE].
You wanna know whose
god is the strongest?
I'll show you!
-Does your mother have the
sun in her hair like you?
-Yes, she does.
And at night her hair
glows like silver.
Mother?
Mother?
-Randy.
You do want to be
[INAUDIBLE], don't you?
[GROANING]
-Help me!
Help me!
Help!

Randy?
Randy, you all right?
-I think so.
-All right. [INAUDIBLE]
stay with Brother Dalton.
-OK.
-Luanu?
Luanu?
Luanu?
Luanu?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Have you been here all night?
-Yeah.
-Brother Dalton says the
boat will be coming soon.
I was thinking.
When we go back, I would like
to stay with Aunt Margarette.
And I also thought
we wouldn't be
able to see each other as often.
-Yes, and you also thought.
-Well, in that case,
we should stay here.
To help.
Brother Dalton
could use your help.
Even if it is for
a little while.
I love you, Jeff.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Now where did you
get that spear.
-[INAUDIBLE] gave it to me.
-Oh, I see.
Where's your brother?
I hope he's not going
to miss one, too.
-Ah, [INAUDIBLE].
Didn't he tell you?
[INAUDIBLE]
But I have to get an education.
-Oh, I see.
Well, now when you
get your education,
and you decide you wanna come
back here, you can come back.
-But I'm perfectly capable of
making that decision right now.
-[LAUGHS] Aloha, Randy.
-Bye, Kiko.
-Take it out!
-Aloha!
-Aloha!
Bye, Kiko!
