Due South (1994–1999): Season 2, Episode 1 - North - full transcript

Taking some R&R to rebuild Fraser's cabin, Fraser and Vecchio find themselves in dire straits when an escaped convict masquerades as their pilot, crashing them in the Canadian wilderness. Their misfortune grows when Fraser reveals the crash has left him blind.

All right, that's it. One
more cup and I plug him.

You're just making it worse, Ray.

He's been on the same page for an hour now.
Can we get some service over here?

You know Ray, things move at
their own pace in small places.

I would just like to check in, Okay?

Is there something wrong with that?
Can I check in please?

Hey, Hamish, how's it going?

Plane's out front.

Hi, Doug.
What the hell is this?

Ted. how's it going, Junior.

I didn't hear anyone ask for tickets.
Ray, Ray, Ray.



Look, I give up two weeks
vacation in Miami for this.

Well, as I recall it was your idea.

No, As I recall I said maybe...

as in maybe we should go up north
and fix up your father's cabin.

You on the other hand could have said no.

No, you don't have to do this.

Oh, yes I do because it's like a...ah...
what do you call it...ah..

a deathbed confession...
you have to honor it...

Besides where else but Canada,

can I spend two weeks hard
labor living off the land.

Well, I for one am glad we're going.

Finally.

All right, you check us in and I'm gonna
take these bags to the plane.

No. I've got to weigh in first.
I've got to weigh in first?



Yeah.

I was sitting there an hour,

doing nothing,

and now you want me to weigh in.
But...

Let?s weigh them in, Mr. Funny Hat.

And mine.

What?

So, they?re a little over. Big deal.

Oh, I see...

I see. Here you go, how much?

Ah, you're American.

From Chicago.
Yeah, All right.

Well, you'll have to leave
some of these behind, boys.

Fine.

No, a lot more than that
by the looks of it.

What about those hunters? Hunters,
hunters had huge bags?

What about them?
Oh, they're different.
How are they different?

They're just different.
I know how they're different,

They're Canadian and I'm American.
That is how they're different.

Are you discriminating against me
because I'm American?

Because if you are let
me tell you something...

Ray, Ray.

Excuse me, sir.
Mm-hmm.

I wonder if you could just
check the manifest and see,

if this extra weight might not be permitted
within the maximum payload.

All right. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you kindly.
Mm-hmm.

I hope you burst.

Is that a handgun there?

Jack?
Yeah?

Listen, I got a prisoner in the plane.
They're picking him up at eleven.

Listen, I need a place to put him.

Ah, I?m taking one of these out in a
few minutes. Use the office.

I'm not apologizing.
Fine.

It is strictly prohibited to
carry a weapon on an aircraft.

Fine!

Particularly one not licensed
for use in this country.

And who told them it was
unlicensed, Fraser, huh, who?

I'm still not apologizing...
Fine!

We're going now.

We're leaving.

We will not return.

Thank you kindly, Dwayne.

Yep, I bet there's no movie on this flight.

Clear for take off any time, Jack.

Weather?s good to
zero-nine-thousand heading...

two-niner-eight, all the way up
to the Territories, over.

Roger.

Are you coming back tonight
after you drop off the cops?

Cops?
That's right.

The Mountie's fine but that other guys
gonna take some getting used to.

Thanks.

You guys have your seat belts on?

Yeah.

Enjoy the flight.

Hey, Benny.

How long did you say
this flight was anyway?

Four hours.
Okay, so where's the john...

Great.

What?

Don't you think it's a little early?

Okay. Fine... fine.

Hey Benny, you want something to drink?

Here's your peanuts... don't bug me.

Huh.

What?

Nothing...

Huh.
What?

Oh, it's nothing. It's probably nothing...

That was not nothing. I'm gonna
have a little talk with this guy.

Hey, Jim. You want to keep
your eyes on the road?

Is there a problem here?
No. I love having my kidneys ...

Actually, we're quite fine. Thank you, Jim!

You guys better keep your seat belts on.

Yeah, you'd better watch the road.

Ray, you wouldn't happen to have
your backup gun? Would you?

No!

Oh, well.

Oh, well, what?

It's just an observation.
Probably ill-timed, but...

I don't think this is our pilot.

You're telling me!

No, I mean, I think he maybe a pilot
I don't think he's our pilot.

There's dandruff on the collar of his
flight suit, There?s none on his scalp.

Oh, and for that we shoot him?

The Territories are North West, Ray.

We've been flying south for two hours.

Also, he's ignoring radio calls,

and occasionally flying
underneath radar coverage.

So, what are you saying
we're being hijacked?

No, not necessarily...

but the chaffing on his
wrists is consistent...

with a man whose recently
been in handcuffs,

Add to that the blood
on the back of his flight suit...

and the prominent bullet hole ...

Well, I leave it up to you.

You couldn't have mentioned this earlier?

It?s a moot point, Ray.
He has a gun, we don't.

This isn't a trick, is it?

On, my word of honor.

But I will have to arrest you,
of course, once we land.

On three ... ready?

Not now, Ray, let's wait
till we're on the ground.

Where? Beirut?

It's a light plane, Ray,

I don't think we have enough
fuel to reach the Middle East.

My guess is he's a smuggler
and we?re headed for Mexico.

Yeah, where fifty of his friends
are gonna be waiting for us with Uzis.

You know what happens to hostages, Fraser?
Cop Hostages? Bodies on the tarmac? CNN?

This is not happening to me. You got to get
him to turn this plane round right away.

You're right.

On the other hand, there
could be a struggle.

He might refuse to cooperate, in which
case we have to fly the plane ourselves.

Now this might be possible with
some assistance from air traffic control,

And I did read a flight training manual
in my grandmother's library.

There were a couple of pages missing,

but I'm sure nothing vital.

And I'm guessing that there
are a lot of similarities...

between a Sopwith Camel and
toady's light aircraft.

Yeah, that?s great, Benny.
Just give me the odds, will you?

Well, statistically, over
90% of all light aircraft...

fatalities occur during
take-off and landing.

Hey, look, I am not gonna be guest of honor
at a human Pinata party in the Baja.

Well, on a brighter note, Ray,

18% of all crash survivors crawl away
with at least three out of four limbs.

One...
Two...

The radio!

It's broken, sit down!

Sit down, strap yourself in!

Hold on!

- We should stay by the plane.
If you think.

This is insane. You're
dragging us through hundreds...

of miles of wilderness,
heading God knows where.

Ray, the man is a vicious murder,
he killed our pilot...

And undoubtedly killed his police escort
and he tried to kill us.

Which is why we should stay by the plane
and wait for reinforcements to come.

The emergency equipment,
the ELT and the radio...
(Emergency Locator Transmitter)

were all destroyed in the crash.

The plane's under cover of trees,
it will never be found.

Now on the way down I noticed a river.
There's bound to be a road that crosses it.

Undoubtedly the hijacker saw it as well.
That's where he'll head.

If we move hard and drive fast we should be
able to intercept him by nightfall.

Any questions?
Yes.

How far do you think you're gonna
get with that gash on your head.

Oh, Ray, head wounds always
look worse than they actually are.

Can you give me a reading, please?
It's your compass. You read it.

I can't.
Well, neither can I.

Well, you'll have to.
Why?

I'm blind.

You're blind?

Apparently.

You're-you're really, really blind.

As a bat.

Well, why didn't you say something?

No point making a bad situation worse.

Worse?! Fraser, you can't see.
Come on, we're going back to the plane.

But Ray, I still have four senses intact.

You can't see!

Ray, I'm blind, I'm not deaf.

I've spent my entire life
in the northern woods tracking criminals.

I have a natural advantage here.

There isn't a thing in this forest that
I can?t hear, taste, touch, smell, feel.

It's a finely tuned ability
gained from years of experience.

So, if you'll just...

stand aside...

I'll be on my way.

That was a tree.
Yes, it was.

A white ash.

Fraxinus Americana to be exact.

Shall we?

We haven't located them yet and there?s
no sign of the missing plane, either.

All right, I'll notify the family.

You get any news, I want it. Right.

Thanks.

Any sign of the hijacker?
Uh, no.

All right, soon we should start
to come to a river valley.

The trees?ll thin out.
The floor?ll become more low-lying.

Willow, sea buckthorn possibly,
infant cottonwood.

That's supposed to mean something to me?

Trees Ray, only shorter.

Ah.

Now. The river valley should
be right about... here.

Tell me what you see, Ray.

Oh, well, I, uh, see, uh, trees.

Good, good. Describe them.

Green mostly.
Very good. And the river?

Well, I'm gonna bet it's
just over the next hill.

Perfect. Onward.

Ho! Not-not a good idea, okay?
Not a good idea.

Just... just wait here for me, all right?

Whew. Okay, I say Westward Ho,
Ethan Edwards.

Hand on shoulder.

I can feel the sun on the
left hand side of my nose.

Uh, Fraser, there is no sun.

What time is it, Ray?
It?s, uh, one-thirty.

I think you're a little off.
Heh heh . How do you know that?

Because of the sun on my nose.
There is no sun on your nose.

Ray, will you just check the compass again
even an error of...

one or two degrees could throw us
hundreds of miles off course.

I know that, I'm not an idiot.
Well, I'm not saying you are.

Okay, good. And by the way I
have gone camping before.

You have not gone camping...

I have, too.
When?

When I was a kid.
With who?

My Dad...

Oh.
Yeah.

And to prove a point we are
heading west... see...

Of course not. What am I thinking of?

Fraser!

Ray, you all right?

Yeah. You okay?
Oh, I'm fine...

Next time, watch where you're going,
please. You could get us both killed.

I think we should take a break.

I feel perfectly fresh, Ray.

No-no-no. It?s getting really dark right
now, and I think we should make camp.

You know, Ray,
'Wise men walk while fools sleep.'

Who said anything about sleep?
I just like to see where I'm going.

Oh, It means nothing to me.

I realize that, but I do not want to
track this guy by moonlight.

'There are strange things done
in the midnight sun by the men who...'

'Toil for gold.' Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I heard that one.

And then they shot that Sam McGee guy.
I told you, I went camping before.

Moil Ray... and they cremated him.

It was Dan McGrue that they shot.

Did they catch the guy?

It's a poem, Ray.
Oh...

Moil, huh?
Yes, moil not toil.

Ah, moil, toil, who cares?

Robert Service apparently.
Who's he?

The poet.

We're lost.

No, we're not. We just
don't know where we are.

Oh, like there?s a difference?

Well, being lost is usually
accompanied by a feeling of panic, Ray.

Are you saying I'm panicking?

No, on the contrary.

You see, Ray, people who are lost, panic.

Now they walk aimlessly in the
woods very often in circles,

until eventually they, well, they die,

either from starvation
or from lack of water.

Now we, by comparison,
we have remained calm,

and you see Ray, this-this is the secret
to survival in the woods,

Remaining ...

Ray, I smell something.
I smell... fuel.

Burnt plastic...metal... what is it?

It's a plane crash.

My God, Ray, another plane crash?
What are the odds?

It's our plane crash, you moron,

We've been going around in circles this
whole time. What's the matter with you?

Get down, get down, get down!

Alright.

I'm gonna handle this, Ray,

In the name of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police. I...

I don't think he heard you.

Good shooting, Ray.

Let's hope he's alive to testify.

Okay, let's see what the hijacker left us.

Well, tube of toothpaste.

Sunscreen.

Oh, here's something we can use...

Hemorrhoid paste.
I almost had him.

A breath mint.
I suppose we could boil it.

Textbook situation...

Maybe he heard us approaching.

Dief's got peanuts...

Here, Dief!

You didn't really think
he'd surrender, did you?

Well, not with you firing at him.

Oh, yeah, you're right,
next Time I'll just let him shoot us.

There won't be a next time, Ray.

He only came back to the
plane for provisions.

Could you give me a
hand here, please?

He's on the run now and he
knows we are on his trail.

Now he doesn't know you're out of bullets,

but he must know that even a minor wound,

will slow him down. He won't
risk open confrontation.

Fraser, the guy?s got a 9mm Sig Sauer
with at least two clips of ammunition.

We can still bring him in alive.

And how do you propose to do that?

You know, Ray, Sam Steele patrolled the
Northwest Territories his entire career...

without ever firing his weapon.
It was a point of honor with him.

Rumor has it that he was buried
with the weapon unfired.

Great, let's go dig it up.

My point is, Ray,
that we will use nature to our advantage.

You see wilderness survival depends
more on your wits than upon firepower.

I mean for example, the
beam from an incandescent...

flashlight is visible for
up to half a mile at night.

Now, our hijacker didn't understand that,

or he would have waited around for
nightfall and picked us off one by one.

Which makes me believe that
he is not skilled in wilderness survival.

Aside from which, Diefenbaker
would have raised...

the alarm if he had been around.
He isn't.

Fraser, I don't think we have to
worry about catching the hijacker.

We're gonna starve to
death long before that.

Oh, Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray...

With a little perseverance,
a little ingenuity,

and a fundamental understanding
of how to go about it,

one can live like a king in the woods.

No way.

Oh Ray, they?re very nutritional.
Far more strengthening than fish or meat.

You eat 'em, then.
Sh...Shhh.

What?
Shhh.

I think I hear a nest of
furry night crawlers!

Oh, great.

Ready.
Ask me again and I set you on fire.

Understood.

I thought we'd agreed. You're
in charge of being blind...

and I'm in charge of seeing.
Any part I left out?

Good. Now I can do this, all right?
So just let me do this, all right?

All right. All right.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Ray! I think I know what happened today.
Great.

One of my legs is probably, fractionally,

just a little bit longer than
the other one, you see,

Which caused us to walk in a giant circle.

I should have taken this into account.

Ray. Measure my legs.
I'm not going to measure your legs!

Hey, you know what?
What?

I think this head injury
has thrown me off a tad.

I'd say just a little more than a tad.

You know what I'm guessing...

I?m guessing that the blow I
received caused a subdural hematoma.

The resulting swelling of the anterior
cerebrum put pressure on the optic nerve.

Well, at least it's not getting any worse.

Mind you, if I become disoriented,
then we?ll really be in a pickle.

Ray, if you're gonna insist on moving
this thing, you really should tell a body.

Fraser, I'm not...
No. No need to apologize, Steve.

Steve?
What?

You just called me Steve.

I most certainly did not!
You did too!

You?re not hyperventilating, are you?

Fraser, you just fell on
the fire and you killed it.

I did not, you were blowing too hard
and you need more tinder.

Fine, you want to be in charge,
you want to do everything, hero man,

You start the fire!

Moody.

You're never gonna teach him
how to start a fire that way.

Well, I believe he thinks
we're going to die out here...

and not without justification.

He's right.

You've got yourself into
one hell of a predicament, son.

Well, it?s hardly my making, now is it?

Mmm, grubs.

You could have reversed
the choke settings.

What?

You could have reversed the choke settings
then the engines would have started.

Well, why didn't you tell me that?

You always hate it when I interfere.
Interfere?

All right, all right...

You're going have to move
fast and drive hard...

if you're gonna bring
this man in, alive.

Now, for all we know he?s left a trail
of bodies from here to the Circle.

Hunters, miners, sodbusters...
Dad...

Poachers, Claim stakers...
Dad...

A whole canoe full of Coureur de Bois.

Dad, I don't know if it's
escaped your attention...

but only very recently I received a
massive blow to my head!

Yeah, well,

You've still got a few good
hours left in you. Go get him.

What?
Go get your man.

Oh good, I'm glad you brought this up.

Would you explain to me
please just once and for all...

explain to me, why is it we
always have to get our man?

Well... it's the motto, son.
It is not.

It is.
It is not.

It is definitely not our motto.
Our motto actually is 'Maintain the Right'

M-maintain the...?
Maintain the Right.

Now what you?re saying
is, we?re supposed to...

pursue people to the
ends of the earth...

for a motto that isn't even our motto.

Well, must be the new one, then.

The old one used to be just...

go get your man...
and bring him back alive or...

just something... go get him...

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere, I'm coming back.
Ah.

Talking to yourself?
Evidently.

Oh, Yeah.
You have those matches?

Great.

It's getting cold.
Mm.

Damn it.

The wood's damp.
Yeah.

Matches may not be the solution.

You know, Ray, my father taught me
how to build a fire when I was 6 years old.

He took me out into the woods, gave me a
piece of flint and a hunk of granite.

And he walked away without turning back.

You know how to make a fire out of stones?

You know the funny thing, I...

I have absolutely no
memory of the fire itself,

but I have this very vivid memory of the
darkness and knowing that I was all alone.

My dad, he wasn?t a
father-and-son type of guy.

He took you camping.

Yeah, well, of course we went camping.

But the one thing he did teach me was
how to look out for Number One.

A police officer puts others first.

My father hated cops.

Where are you going?

Oh, I'm gonna go get
some of those dry sticks.

Ah.

And maybe some rocks.

Good.

Dad?

Good.

I heard that.

Nobody's talking to you.

You tell a stranger something like that,
about your family?

He?s not a stranger. He?s my friend.

Ooh, some friend... He?s loony toons!
You should cut him loose.

I owe him.
You owe nobody.

He's gonna get you killed.

It?s always the way it is
with you, Pop, ain?t it?

Just you, screw the rest of the world, huh?

Something wrong with that?

You do it.

Yeah...

Once you learn you never forget.

I can't believe I did that.

I can still feel 'em
movin' around in there.

It was a good meal, Ray.

You need another blanket?
No.

I'll go get some rest.

We're gonna have to double our pace
if we want to catch him tomorrow.

Benny?
Hmm?

Have you taken a look at yourself recently?

Well now, I can?t very well
do that, can I, Steve?

Ray.

What?

Never mind.

You know, I?d better wake you up
every couple hours.

Good night.

[ howl ]

Yeah, very funny.

What you think you're a wolf or something?

If he doesn't make it, Dief, you're
gonna help us get out of here, right?

You're up?
Yes.

I didn't want to wake you.

I... I made breakfast.

No, man, thanks, you go right ahead.

Listen.

A search plane, someone?s in trouble!
Yeah, us.

Come on, come on.

I don't think they saw it.

It's no use, Ray.

Search planes fly in grid patterns.
He won't be back.

Why didn't you say something?

What the hell is wrong with you?

That might be the only chance to
get out of here alive.

Ray, we still have a man to catch.
What are you...(crazy)?

Okay, okay...

I'll pack up,

then we'll get out of here.

What's so funny?

Well, it would appear that I
have lost the use of my legs.

Ray,

If at any point during our
trip I should become a...

burden to you, you would
let me know, wouldn't you?

Oh, yes, Fraser.
And you'd carry on without me.

Absolutely.
Without hesitation.

Oh, in a heartbeat.
That's good.

Oh, and if, at any time, you should
be feeling better, you just let me know.

Yes, of course...

Oh, Ray.
Yes.

I'm a little thirsty.

You okay?
Mm-hmm.

All right, all right, let me get the water.

There you go.

I'll be right back.

You're gonna give him all the water?

What's it to you?

You're doing all the work, you
should keep it for yourself.

Get away from me, Pop.

Yeah.
Don't blame me if you die out here.

He's slowing you down, son.

He's slowing me down?

When I first joined the mounted police,

all the equipment we got was a paper bag,

And a pointed stick. We
used the bag to boil tea...

and the stick was
for killing game,

and if you lost either of them,
they charged you for it!

Are you ill?

There?s nothing to be ashamed of, son.

You've got a man to catch.

Okay.

Let's saddle up...

What are you complaining about...
You want to trade?

All right, let's try to do this, okay?

Tuesdays. Ma always made a
big pot of pasta fasule.

She started boiling the
beans early in the morning.

Oh, man, You could smell it in every room.
It's heaven.

Bannock. My grandmother made it.

Taste good?

No, tasted like a hockey puck.

Hard, flat, unleavened.

I can still smell it burning in the oven.

What are they gonna tell 'em back home?

The truth.

It's a big responsibility
when people rely on you.

Ma always worries when
I?m late home from work.

You could set a watch by
my father's schedule.

Out down the first snow,
back at spring break up.

Never changed, not even once.

Well, until he died.

What's that?

It's called a bola, Ray.
The Inuit use it to hunt.

When I was a kid I had a slingshot.

A bola?s not a toy, it?s a deadly weapon.

It can bring down a
good-sized elk, or a man.

The hijacker is probably at a
Hilton sitting by the pool.

Oh, no he's not, we're
closing in on him. Now here...

take this.

Stand up...

and spin it.
Spin it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now when you get enough momentum...
Let it go.

Let it go.
I'm trying!

Let it go now.

Benny?

Yes, Ray?

We're in trouble.

Ray. I've stopped sweating.

What does that mean?

Well,

a person ten percent dehydrated it
suffers from dizziness, nausea,

swollen tongue. At fifteen percent from
dimmed vision, loss of muscle control,

painful stools.

Where are you at?

The inability to sweat indicates a loss of
anywhere between ten and fifteen percent.

What happens at twenty?

Death.

Here.

Easy, easy, easy!

I hope you're right about that river.

Well, I can't get off of my horse,

all day and night I ride among the cattle

No, I can't get off of my horse,

Cuz some dirty dog put glue in the saddle.

In the Saddle, in the Saddle,

Yes, some dirty dog put glue in the saddle.

Freude , schoner Gotterfunken
('Ode to Joy' by Beethoven)

Deine Zauber binden wieder

La la la la / Ba Ba Ba bum.

Freu ...
Shh, shh.

What?
It's Beethoven and Shiller!

Freu ...
Shut up!!

What?

I hear water.

Hey, this is great.

Can you taste this?

This must be where they get Evian from.

Most of the rivers around Chicago,
you can walk on.

This is really beautiful!

Ray,

it may just be some property of the water,
but I think I can feel a twitch.

Don't worry buddy. I'll have
you out of here in no time.

Now, you're thinking.

You're gonna ditch him and take the raft,
that's what you're gonna do, right?

No.
Look,

A man would take that raft,
a man would save himself.

What are you, crazy?

Leave him, take the raft.
You can still get your man.

Absolutely not.

They?ll have you up on charges.

Do you ever listen to yourself?
What?

Not you... him.
Who?!

Like I said, loony toons.
Now listen to me, why don't you?

Do you mind?
Yes, I do.

I know you?ll do the right thing, son.

How? I have no legs.

It's in our nature.

Look, you don?t just leave
a man in the wilderness...

and hope that he?ll survive.
They don?t thank you for it.

I?m not gonna leave you here.

If they survive.

All right. If you?re not gonna do it,
I?ll do it for you.

Get away from me!
I?m nowhere near you!

I'm not talking to you.

This man is gonna die if I
don't get him out of here.

Now, I don't care what
that makes me but what it...

doesn't make me is you.
Now back off, all right?

Ray, who are you talking to?

Well, shall we get in it?

I don't think now's a good time.

Well, I suppose we should start walking.

You mean, you suppose I
should start carrying you.

No-no, Ray, you remember that
twitch that I mentioned earlier?

Yeah.

Protract my lower lumbar, would you?

What does that mean?

Well, just put your knee
in my back and pull.

All right.

Now you may have to really wrench it.

You ready? on three.

One ...
Two...

Three.

AHHH HAAA!

Did that... did that hurt?
Like a hot poker.

But look...

Look! I seem to have found my legs!

That's great. come on, let's
get the hell out of here.

I got one, Fraser.
I got one.

Fraser, look out!
What?

Duck!
What?

Now!
Oh.

How many's that.
Eight.

Great, here take this.
Toss it.

Looks like we're gonna
run out of rope.

Well, we?ll have to improvise.

With what?

The inside bark of a poplar is quite good,
but it has to be boiled then chewed.

Inuit women do it all the time.

It's good for the teeth.
Oh, I'll remember to tell my dentist.

You know, cedar roots make
a suitable alternative.

Boil or chew?
Neither.

Well, I?m your man.

Here, tie this off.

Look at you.... Loser.

You oughta know, Pop.

You never listen to me, you never
knew what was good for you.

You never listened and you never learned.

And when did you tell me Pop... huh?

When you used to come home for
dinner five nights a week,

Or when I found you passed
out on the floor on...

Saturday night from too much
partying with the boys?

Hey-hey, it wasn?t up to me to talk,
it was up to you to listen.

Yeah, well, I?m not
listening to you anymore.

I'm your father.

That's right, Pop.

You are my father.

Get down!
I am down!

Good.

Fraser, I thought you said he wasn't
gonna risk a direct confrontation.

Yeah, It would appear I miscalculated.

But I have a plan.

We?re gonna draw him to the river,

then lure him into the open
using the raft as bait,

and you trap him with the bola.

I can't use the bola.
I didn't say it was a good plan.

You have any another plans?

Not at the present time, no.

Okay, if nothing else springs to mind,
I?d like to get something off my chest.

Go, go, go, go, go.

My Dad when I was a kid...
Down-down-down.

Used to hang out down
the pool hall, shooting pool...

and drinking espressos
with the guys...

and acting like a big jalook,
which he wasn?t.

Go, go, go, go!
Go, go, go, go.

Okay, that?s good, that?s good.

So, I'm 10, right?

And I get this idea in my head
that I want to go camping.

I don?t know where I get it,
out of a book or something.

But the point is that I just
want to be with him, you know...

I just want to spend some time with him.

So finally, he says 'yes' and I
go and I get a tent, right?

Is this a particularly long story, Ray?

So, my Mom being the sweetheart that she is,

goes and gets me her best sheets,
her really good sheets, right?

So I get some wood...
'cause I want to start a fire, right?

But what I really want is for him
to teach me how to make a fire.

So, I'm waiting for him to come, right?
And it starts to rain.

Ray, the river.

Go, go, go, go, go.

I waited and waited but he never came.

So, I go down to Finelli?s and sure enough,
there he is shooting pool with his friends.

I go home I take the tent down
and we never speak of it ever again.

We can't choose our families, Ray.

Fraser, I never camped with my father.
Not once.

The raft.
Go, go.

Get, get... Run, go.

This is perfect.
I think we've got him where we want him.

Oh, I?m sure that?s what
he?ll be thinking...

when he shoots us to death at close range!

How far is he?

Fifty yards.
Angle?

Ten o'clock.

And where's the bola?

Fraser, he has a gun!
I'm not gonna leap out...

into the open and start
flinging stones at his head!

Oh no, Ray, I am. I think I can
find his range with your help.

Fraser, you can't see!

Ray.

I can see!

Wow!

Benny. Benny!

Ray!

How many fingers?

Four.

What happened?

Oh, you're not gonna believe it...

Nobody's gonna believe it.
It was the most...

improbable natural
phenomenon I have ever seen.

Good work, son.
Thank you.

For what?
You got your man.

We got our man.

Yes, we did, Benny. Yes, we did!

But I think he's dead.

Oh...
Oh dear.

This is good.
A fresh breeze, a strong current.

We should make this an annual event,
what do you say?

Ah. I would say you should
watch the rock up on the left.

I got it, I got it.

Okay, now we?re coming up
on a sandbar, Ray.

All right, speak to me, sandbar!

No, I would avoid it if I were you.

You can?t avoid nature, Fraser,
you got to work with it.

Oh.

See, we're perfectly fine.

I know what I'm doing.

Admit it I know what I'm doing.

You know what you're doing.
Thank you.

Ray?
What?

Is that a water fall?

High winds, Northern sky
will carry you away

You know you have to leave here

but you wish that you could stay,

There's four directions on this map

but you're only going one way

Due...... South,

that's the way I'm going

Due......... South
