Forest Warrior (1996)

[bunniefuu]

[panting]

[birds chirping]

[heroic music]

[man] It was the summer

of 1875

and McKennna was

a long way from home.

He was married

to an Indian girl,

daughter

of the tribal elder.

She was waiting for him

in a cabin on the mountain.

She had a fever

and he'd ridden his horse

to death,

to get back

with medicine for her.

[panting]

There were dangers

in the forest that night,

not just the wind

and the rain, and lightning.

A g*ng of cutthroats,

hired by timber agents

from the Northern Pacific

were waiting for him.

They wanted his trees

for railroad ties,

but he wouldn't sell

and he wouldn't deal.

It was Indian land,

given to him

by his wife's father.

He could sense the danger

but by then it was too late.

They caught up with him

on the trail about the river.

[grunting]

McKenna fought them

in the way of the Indians.

Launching and spinning,

grappling and swirling.

[grunting]

They had their g*ns,

but every part

of Jedidiah McKenna,

a man hardened by rain

and fire on the mountain,

every part of him

was a weapon.

He was alone

and there were six of them.

[grunting]

[man] Look out!

Then there were five.

[laughs]

[yelling]

McKenna had run 40 miles,

from a trading post

on the Columbia,

but he was winning,

he was billing them.

[yelling]

[grunt]

They shot him though.

Cowards that they were.

And he fell tumbling

and rolling

down into the white water.

[girl] He never made it

back to her?

He just drowned

in the river?

Come on, you guys.

I mean, the guy was shot.

He didn't have to drown,

he was already on his way

to the boneyard.

He maybe is the river

in our mountain.

This is the Bigfoot story?

Sasquatch,

is that was this is?

No.

Is not about Sasquatch

or the river or the g*n.

And you were right, Austene.

He never saw his wife again.

But he never left

the mountain either.

[peaceful music]

[man] He was cold,

lost in the eternal darkness,

lying on the river bank

in the wilderness.

[snorting]

But this time

he was not alone.

The forest spirit found him.

This one had taken the form

of a great bear.

[growl]

This is how the legend began.

The Legend of the Spirit

of the Mountain.

I'm sure about this legend.

We've all heard little bits

and pieces of it.

But he was shot,

wasn't he?

And he was drowned,

wasn't he?

[Brian] Guys,

legends aren't true.

They're just things

that people want to be true.

I don't know what better

than to believe on it, Brian.

-It has to be some good in it.

-Justin is right, Brian.

Must legends and folklore

are based in facts.

That's right.

McKenna was shot.

He was in the river

all night.

[growling]

[screech]

[roaring]

[screech]

[roaring]

[twinkling]

In the magic glade

deep entangled

all those years ago,

the power of the forest,

the power

that could restore life

to any human

or beast harmed by another,

that power was called down

by the bear

and it touched McKenna.

And the spirits

of the mountain joined in him.

Then, the bear,

the wolf,

the eagle

became one in McKenna.

He could become all of them.

In the Indian legend,

a shape-shifter.

And he would stay forever

to protect the mountain

and everything

that lived there,

and everyone who loved it.

You mean he's a spirit now?

A spirit of the mountain?

Like a ghost?

No, no, not a ghost.

McKenna's spirit embodies

the strenght of the balance

of nature.

[man laughs]

Well, that's enough for now.

We better go now

or we'll late

for the big shindy.

[man] I'll tell you some

more another time.

-Wait. Mr. Madison?

-Yeah?

What's a shape-shifter?

You know, like the one

in the Indian legend?

Well, Justin, a shape-shifter

can appear a human,

who has the ability

to take the shape

of those creatures

he loved in life.

He can even see through

your eyes into your soul.

No kidding?

[chuckles]

No kidding, Logan.

Let's go!

Ready to go, Justin.

We won't be late.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

[woman] Make sure

to put the fire out, honey!

Yeah, yeah.

-[Madison] Stacy.

-What are you've been up

to out there?

-You're looking very pretty.

-Thank you.

What do you think about

this big "get together."

Everybody knows

what I think.

Do you think Mr. Madison

makes it all up,

you know,

about the legend

of Tanglewood?

[Brian] Come on! He knows

we hang around

the old tree house.

He just wants to give Logan

the creeps. That's all.

That is so sad.

What's sad?

He never got to see

his wife again.

Yeah, that's sad.

[man] All we're talking about

is cutting down

a few old trees, alright?

I understand,

and to all of your concerns

I'm still one of you,

and like one of you,

I only want what is best

for this community.

But remember,

the unharvested riches

that we have on our mountain

can only bring

prosperity and hope

for our future,

here in Tanglewood.

Excuse me, Mr. Thorne,

sounds like

Thorne Lumber Company

stands to benefit a whole lot.

What about our alternatives?

What about the wildlife?

What about

our nature conservacy?

My staff and I are fully aware

of the alternatives.

But folks,

let's be reasonable.

I mean,

the nature conservacy?

There's no money on that.

And I think it's obvious

to you all hardworking people.

But my harvesting proposal

is gonna change

this town around.

And that's

what we all want, isn't?

-[woman] No!

-[cheering]

[whistling]

My lawyers,

my colleagues here,

will be glad

to answer any questions

that you may still have.

And I want to thank

all of you for coming.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Very good.

-I think they'll come around.

-It's lovely.

You two don't know

what the hell

are you talking about.

[playing country music]

-Can I offer you some punch?

-Thank you, Austene.

-Having fun?

-Yeah.

No.

It's hard to believe that boy

comes from this parts.

He's driven by nothing

but grieve.

I don't get it.

What are they willing to do

to our mountain?

You know, Logan,

how can we be related?

They're just gonna

pick it clean, bonehead.

Hey! Don't call me

"bonehead", bonehead!

-Don't touch me.

-[Grunts]

I guess we're just let

the Town Council decide

if that Thorne guy

can log them out.

Well, my dad is

a logger, too,

and he's never, ever,

cut down those old trees.

Yeah, you know,

Mr. Madison says

those trees are 600,

800 years old.

No kidding?

No kidding, Logan.

Brian, what are you...?

[scoffs]

Oh, that's attractive.

Oh, come on, you guys.

Oh, Lord, help me survive

my older son's appetite.

Let's go.

We got a big day tomorrow.

Yeah. Logan becomes

an official Lord of Tanglewood.

Tomorrow.

Where's your jacket, honey?

-Daddy, where you've been?

-I got delayed.

I didn't mean to be late.

I'm sorry, honey.

I... I'm sorry,

but you know...

Yes, Daddy.

I know.

They're talking about

the mountain and...

it could mean

"new job."

It could mean everything

for us.

I... I should just stay.

They can decide it

without us.

Come on, Daddy,

let's go home.

You need some sleep.

Yeah... I'm pretty tired.

Daddy, we'll walk.

[Shirley] Come on.

Good night, Daddy.

[Austene] Please help my daddy

to be strong and healthy.

Bless our mountain

with a gift of melting snow,

a heart that give life

to our forest.

Please try to find a way

to save it.

Bless Mommy,

wherever she is.

And give her a thought of me

and Daddy once in a while.

We need your help so much.

So much.

Amen.

Amen.

[growl]

[growling]

[birds chirping]

Remember, Logan,

this is your first trip

to the mountain.

I want you to listen

to your brother.

Give me candy, Brian.

Listen to your brother,

and do everything

he tells you to do.

-Everything?

-No!

Brian, give me the candy.

You had a good breakfast

this morning.

-[Brian] No.

-[Shirley] No? Yeah.

OK, you guys,

have a good time.

[Justin] What's up, dudes!

-[Justin] Let's go! Let's go!

-[Austene] Hi, guys!

[hubbub]

Listen to what

your brother says,

you understand?

[kids yelling]

I want all you kids

to watch out for Logan!

And chat with Clovis

before you leave town!

-[Logan] Thank you, Mom!

-Uh-huh.

He'll call me if you don't!

[ominous music]

Thorne, this nature

conservacy thing is

nothing more than a threat.

They'll yield.

The bottom line is greed.

-There's nothing like it.

-Well, you should know.

Williams!

You handled that impeccably.

The prosperity and progress

are always the best bait.

I couldn't care less about

the progress of anyone

except Travis Thorne, boys.

And so should you, too,

because I'm your meal ticket.

Williams, I want you

to get survey teams

on top of the mountain,

first thing in the morning.

Set up grids

for clear cutting.

30 million board-feet

of lumber are up there

and I want it all.

-You wanna use local labor?

-What for?

They don't want to cooperate.

Scruples.

-What?

-Scruples, boys! Scruples!

Like they sizzle

in their own grease.

[laughing]

We'll get a temporary permit,

we'll scrap the place,

we'll have our money

in the bank before

they can file on us.

And then you two geniuses,

you'll just bury them

in paperwork

until hell is

a ski resort.

Holly, come in.

Nevermind.

Come on, let's go.

I know what he meant.

Got enough food,

snacks, power bars?

[all] Yes, sir. We got'em.

[Madison] Toothpaste,

extra brushes?

[Austene] I got'em,

Mr. Madison.

So...

You can't think of anything

you might've forgotten, huh?

[all] No, sir. Nothing.

We got it alright this time,

Mr. Madison. Right, guys?

-[all] Yeah.

-I see.

Well now...

this could be important,

you know?

Especially since

your alternative is

pine cone or tree barks.

Oh...

Oh, toilet paper.

-There you go, Justin.

-Thanks.

-Put this in my bag.

-Cool.

Now, my young Lords

of Tanglewood, go on.

-And tell the mountain

hello for me.

-[Justin] Alright!

[all] Bye, Mr. Madison!

[kids yelling]

[Austene] Bye, Mr. Madison!

[Justin] See you later,

Mr. Madison!

[kids yelling]

Hmm.

Fill up that for me,

will you?

-You mean now?

-Yeah, that'd be good.

What happened

to the conversation?

Hey, Blaine.

-How about a cup of coffee?

-No, thanks.

How about a cup

of world-class chili?

No, no. I had some

of that last summer.

And?

When it gets hot

I still taste it.

[Shirley laughs]

[grunts]

Lately, he's been coming in

whenever he feels like it,

and that means less and less.

Yes.

Arlen...

-How's everything going?

-[Arlen] Couldn't be better.

[exhales]

Sorry, only got

to one cup.

Arlen, two years is

enough time for all this.

Why, Blaine, whatever

are you talking about?

Forget it, Arlen.

She was my wife,

you know?

[sighs]

Why not I just run

my wife off, too?

Then we can get drunk

and sniffle about

our bad luck together.

I didn't run her off!

If you could've just have

a little more patience...

-If you just understood...

-I did understand!

I understood you were

the best deputy I've ever had

till people started

tripping over you.

-Is there a point to all this?

-Yeah! You got a daughter!

Who's doing a pretty good job

at taking care of you so far,

-but it can't go on forever.

-What are you talking about?

You're on the slide, Arlen.

And if you don't hoist up

your pantyhose

and get your life

back together again,

you're gonna lose Austene.

Sooner or later,

one way or the other,

that's what's gonna happen.

Put the gas on my tab,

will you, Barney?

Hey, guys?

Where did everybody go?

Hey, guys!

Hello?

[branch cracks]

Don't mess with me.

I know karate.

[ominous music]

[chirps]

Come on, guys!

Come out!

Austene?

Come on, guys!

Come out, please!

Lewis!

We're not doing chores,

so come out!

Please, come out!

Hey, guys?

Hey, guys... I'm getting

a little scare here.

Wow!

[kids shouting]

[Brian] Yeah! Oh, yeah!

Logan! Come on,

man, this place is sick!

[Austene] Come on, Logan

Welcome to Tanglewood manor.

[kids] Come on, Logan!

[kids shouting]

[Brian] We're here!

Yes! Check out the hub!

Logan, come on, man!

Let's go!

-[roaring]

-[kids screaming]

What? Yeah, right.

I'm not falling for that.

I'm no fool, you know.

[Lewis] Come on, Justin,

let's go!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

-Did you see what it was?

-[Brian] It was a big gorilla.

I swear!

[Lewis] I don't know

what it was doing, gorillas are

only around here in the zoo.

Well, one of them

must've got out then.

This is cool.

[Austene] No, it was

a mountain lion.

I saw its eye.

No, you're both crazy.

I saw it.

It was a bear.

A giant bear.

-[roaring]

-A monster! Giant monster!

Logan!

-[Logan] Help me!

-[Austene] Logan!

It grabbed me!

It grabbed me!

Please, help me!

[all shouting]

[cans rattling]

[screaming]

[kids giggling]

Guys, it's a baby bear.

[all laughing]

[huffing]

Let me get that rag off you,

little guy.

Rags, that's a good name.

[Justin] Hey!

You know, guys,

I wasn't scared.

-[Lewis] Yeah?

-[Justin] Yeah, right, Brian.

Come on, you guys,

I wasn't scared!

[Justin] Come on!

Rags is so cute.

I know what

you're thinking, Austene.

Bear cubs

do not make good pets.

[bear cub snorting]

Goodbye, Rags.

[huffing]

[croaking]

[moaning]

Oof!

[Austene] That's a smelly job

it gifted here, guys.

Mr. Rags left us two piles

of current cards.

I'll get the water.

My Logan,

I'll show you around.

This place is awesome.

Come on, let's go.

Mark it.

[echoing]

What was that?

What?

-Phill.

-What?

I don't know.

It's... something. It's...

This doesn't feel right.

So...

Just finish the job,

will you?

Yeah.

[huffing]

Holly, grab your g*n.

We got a bear over here.

-Did he say bear?

-[both] Bear!

[cub whining]

[Williams] Guys, hurry up,

we're gonna lose him!

[crack]

[thumping]

The danger signal.

The danger signal!

Come on, Logan.

Let's go, guys!

Come on!

[huffing]

[Williams] There it is!

Now we got him.

[screeching]

[cub whining]

Either of you want

the shot?

[Holly] Come on,

if it's a fish, you got

to throw it back.

[Williams] That's not a fish.

And it's worth something,

no matter how big it is.

Yeah? It'd worth a lot more

if it was bigger.

Huh. You wanna wait

for it to grow up?

They're gonna sh**t Rags.

[whining]

No! No, you can't sh**t him!

Stop!

Well, well, well.

Where did you come from?

Don't you know better

than to run at a man

with a r*fle?

You can't sh**t

that bear cub.

You're right. Holly.

I should just skin it alive.

[laughs]

No! Please!

Come here, you little

oogie boogie bear.

[screeching]

[screams]

[grunting]

Halt!

Move one more muscle,

and I'm gonna blow

your head off.

Oh...

Oh!

[moans]

[screams]

Wow!

-Oh!

-Gotta hurt!

[Holly yelling]

[all] Oh!

Uh-oh.

[cheering]

Yeah!

I don't know

who you are, mister,

but you're in big trouble.

Get off the mountain.

All of you.

We have the right to be here.

You can't tell us what to do.

[growling]

[hooting]

[howling]

[several animal noises]

[Holly] Let's do

what he says.

What's the matter, Holly?

You're getting superstitious

on me?

Yeah, that's exactly

what I'm doing.

Let's get out of here.

[whining]

[whispering]

Rags, come here.

Oh, Rags.

I'm so glad you're back.

I missed you.

You were very brave, Austene.

You saved his life.

Where is his mother?

His mother was old and sick.

She died giving him life.

Do you think

it will be alright

if I can take him home?

Just for a little while?

He wouldn't be happy

off the mountain.

His home is here,

in the forest.

-Can I be his friend?

-You are his friend.

[kids chattering]

Where did he go?

Did you guys see?

I was just talking with him.

Did you look at their faces?

That was awesome.

[guys agreeing]

Are you guys blind?

I was just talking to him.

Where did he go?

He just walk out

after the fight, Austene.

No, I was talking

with him.

Austene, you were talking

to the bear.

He said he was my friend.

What do you mean

he said he was your friend?

-He's a bear, Austene.

-Bears don't talk.

Hey, Justin, Brian,

one of those guys drop

his walkie-talkie.

You may as well toss it.

One walkie-talkie isn't good

for anything.

-Let's go.

-[Logan] I guess you're right.

[Brian] Yes, man.

-[Logan] Shut up.

-You.

[cub whining]

Mr. Thorne.

Give good news, Williams.

All I want

to hear is good news.

Well, we nearly finish it.

What the hell

does "nearly" mean?

There's some kids up there.

School's out.

I should've figured

on that.

Well, you let me do

the figure, alright?

And there's somebody else

up there, too.

Who?

-I don't know.

-What did he look like?

A trapper.

Some kind of hippie

out of the '70s.

You know,

leather and stuff.

Is that what happened

to your face?

Holly and two

of my surveyors quit

when we got back.

They say you don't pay'em

enough money

to get busted up.

Is that right?

Then just find a few men

who aren't squeamish

about fighting, alright?

You know,

I don't know

about that trapper guy

but there's no mystery

why those kids

are up there.

It's a tree house.

[chuckles]

I used to play up there

when I was a kid. It was...

magical.

A wonderful place.

[chuckles]

I have some of my fondest

memories when I...

Just get rid

of the damned thing.

OK.

[all yelling]

[Logan moaning]

[Brian] Yeah, just go...

[Brian laughing]

[Brian] You're ready?

You're ready?

Here we go!

[Lewis] One more.

Let's go, buddy.

Logan, you made it!

You're one of us now.

You're Lord.

[Logan moaning]

[Austene] The initiation

is over.

[Justin] Come on.

[Austene] He ate 15 sardines

and he drank a chocolate milk.

That's enough.

He doesn't need to toss

his cookies, too.

-[Justin] Brian did.

-I had the flu.

OK, we need to do this

as the sun sets.

Why do we have to do it

as the sun sets?

We have to do this

at sunset

because that's how

the generations before us

did it.

This is our vow.

You know your part?

We, the Lords of Tanglewood...

Where the forest

as for centuries did...

[Brian] Cherish our mountain

and all the earth...

[Lewis] Love all its creatures

and boundless worth.

As did the ones

who came before...

And those will teach

our wood and lore.

[bonfire spreads]

We ask you to leave it

pure as found.

We are to it forever bound.

We ask you to leave it

pure as found.

We are to it forever bound.

[all] We are to it

forever bound.

[hooting]

[hooting]

[huffing]

[hissing]

[hissing]

[screams]

Oh, it's you, Fred.

Austene, Fred's back.

I'll be right there.

-Where is he?

-In my sleeping bag.

Wow... a snake.

I think Fred is OK,

but I don't want him

in my sleeping bag.

Especially when I'm

in there.

He's cold

and you're warm.

What did you expect?

He's my Freddy,

Freddy, Freddy.

Ew...

-Are we going fishing?

-Yeah!

Hey, Austene,

maybe we could use

old Freddy for bait.

No way.

[boys laughing]

Hey, you guys just watch.

I'm gonna catch

some fish today.

[soft music]

-[Logan] Hey, Rags.

-[Lewis] Rags, what are you

smelling at?

Hey, guys,

I caught another fish!

Another one!

We're zip and she's got

seven already.

[laughing]

Yes!

She's just showing off.

I hate when this happens.

I hate it.

Hey, Austene!

Get your puppy out

of the water!

He's scaring

all the fish!

He's not scaring mine.

Well, that's because

you're over there

and he's over here.

Yeah!

[whining]

[kids laughing]

[Brian] Alright!

-[Justin] I got it!

-[Brian] Guys, my face!

-[Justin] I got it!

-[Lewis] We caught a whale!

Yeah!

[trill]

[all yelling]

They'll be playing there

all day.

Let's go set the charge.

[laughing, yelling]

[ominous music]

[laughing]

[beeping]

[Logan screams]

-[Justin] What happened?

-[Logan] I fell on a rock.

-[Austene] Let me look at it.

-[Logan] It was like a knife.

[moaning]

[screams]

No!

[Lewis] A minor laceration.

Thought it was

far more worse than this.

We gotta get back.

The first aid kit

is in the tree house.

-I'm sorry, you guys.

-It's your first time up here,

Mom told me

to take care of you

and look what you do, Logan.

You crash and burn.

[cub wining]

[kids yelling, arguing]

I don't care!

Get that away from me!

No!

Logan.

You know, it didn't

really hurt at all.

[Logan] Thanks, Austene.

[Justin] Told you

it wouldn't hurt.

[Lewis] Listen to her

more often, man.

[Justin] You OK?

Does anybody want

to help me clean the fish?

I gotta go find

some firewood.

I'm gonna go help him.

I gotta go find a tree

and take care

of my business.

I gotta go make a fire

with the... firewood.

Wimps.

Come on, Rags.

[beeping]

Well, well, well.

The miracles never cease

to happen.

I'm glad you realize that.

Huh.

I was hopping for this.

I told you to get off

the mountain.

Yeah, you did.

[yelling]

[grunting]

[whining]

[yelling]

Uh-oh!

[hiss]

Oh...

[Williams] You're really

slippery, aren't you?

Well, fight this!

-[Brian] A g*nsh*t!

-[Justin] Austene!

Come on! They're the same guys.

We'll call the rangers.

I can't right now.

Austene, what are you

waiting for? Come on!

I have to put the fish away

or Rags will eat them.

OK, well just catch up

with the thing, alright?

[Lewis] And hurry!

[mystical sounds]

[man screaming]

[screech]

Stay here, Rags.

[screech]

[beeping]

[panting]

-Sounds like an expl*si*n.

-Where did it come from?

Sounds like

the tree house.

[Lewis and Justin] Austene!

[cub whining]

Austene! She must

be in there!

[Justin and Lewis] No!

[Brian] No!

Austene!

Austene! Austene!

Austene! Austene!

Protective spirit, huh?

Protective spirit?

[Brian] What good does it do

to believe in anything?

Justin, we gotta get

some help.

Somebody's gotta help us.

Somebody's gotta help us!

Listen to me!

Where was he

when we really need him, huh?

Where was he?

[Lewis] Calm down

and listen to me!

[Justin] OK! Guys, shut up!

Everybody just shut up!

-[sobbing]

-[Justin] Alright.

Listen to me, guys.

We gotta get

some help, OK?

Let's go! Let's go!

[Lewis] Let's go. We'll go

get some help. Come on!

[Brian] No!

We need to find her!

[guys shouting]

[Lewis] Go! Go! Go!

Clovis.

[panting]

[Justin] Hey, Mr. Madison!

[Brian] Mr. Madison!

[kids shouting

at the same time]

[Madison] Calm down!

Calm down!

[kids shouting]

-[Arlen] Austen what?

-[kids shouting]

[Arlen] Come on,

get on the Bronco.

Let's go!

We'll find Austene.

Let's go!

Clovis, call sheriff Ramsey.

And the fire sergeant.

Tell him it might be a fire.

Give me the sheriff.

[roaring]

[twinkling]

[bear huffing]

How are you feeling,

Austene?

Where am I?

Was I sleeping?

Yes, you were sleeping.

Rags, where is he?

Over there.

What happened?

Where are all the others?

Your friends are fine.

This is your home?

Is this where you live?

The forest is my home.

Are you the...?

Have you lived here

a long, long time?

A long, long time.

I'm really sorry

you never saw

your wife again.

Sleep.

Everything will be fine.

[Blaine] Arlen, calm down.

[Arlen grunting]

Arlen, come here.

Come here.

You gotta calm down.

She's not here, Blaine!

She wasn't here!

If she... was here,

we would've found her.

-Alright, alright!

-We'd found her, wouldn't we?

[Arlen sobbing]

Why don't you just beat

the hell out of me?

[crying]

It wouldn't do any good.

Nothing would feel

like it.

Come on.

[Blaine] Clovis,

come over here.

Oh, God!

God, help me!

What would I give...

Oh, Austene...

Daddy?

My baby!

My baby!

Guys, it's Austene!

-[Lewis] Oh, gosh!

-[Justin] She's OK!

[Arlen] Oh, thanks!

[sobbing]

My baby! My baby!

I love you so much.

I love you, Austene.

Austene, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything.

Please, forgive me.

Daddy, it's fine.

I love you, baby!

[eagle screeches]

Still on the job, huh?

-What was that?

-I was just saying thank you.

[screech]

To the spirit

of the mountain?

[chuckles]

You don't still believe

on those old stories,

do you?

[Arlen] What happened

on the mountain, Blaine?

You saw it.

How could anything

would've live through that?

I told you, Daddy.

My friend helped me.

You know, odd things have been

happening on that mountain

for a long time.

It's not haunted,

I know that.

[pouring coffee]

Enchanted, maybe.

Enchanted?

What happened to you

up there today

it reminds me of something

that happened...

30 years ago.

I took my wife out canoing

in the moonlight.

And it got breezy

and it got chilly.

And I wanted to move

to the front and put

my jacket around her.

And I took a wrong step,

I shifted my weight

and the canoe turned upside.

I thought I could

hear her screaming,

but before I could get

to her, she went under.

So I dove.

And I dove and I dove,

but I couldn't find her.

I didn't know what else

to do so I ran for help.

When I got back,

she was there.

Cold and wet,

and waiting for me.

Something had lifted

her up, she said.

Something embraced her

and carried her

to the surface.

And she wasn't afraid,

and she knew

I was coming back.

How do you explain that?

Some things

you can't explain.

I know what I believe,

and you might not agree.

But I'm thankful

for the way things worked out.

And you should be, too.

[rumbling]

What the heck?

[ominous music]

Thorne is on the move.

He managed to get

a temporary permit.

He can start cutting

the trees at noon tomorrow.

[Arlen] What?

We were supposed

to vote on this.

We gotta get a court order.

This might help.

I gotta call this morning

from someone who saw

one of Thorne's crew

loading expl*sives.

You mean... Thorne could be

responsible for blowing up

the tree house?

Everything points

at Thorne.

Whoa, whoa.

Justin, hey.

Austene, what are you

doing here?

We have some emergency

planning to do.

I know the sheriff

and the grown ups

are gonna do all they can,

but we can't just

wait around.

Right, after what they did

to our tree house, guys.

If we're gonna put

our plan into action,

we gotta move fast.

Hold on.

We got a little problem

with our plan.

What?

Communications.

They have CBs

and walkie-talkies.

I might have something.

[cheering]

[whirring]

-[Thorne] Everyone of

the crew teams have a radio?

-[Williams] Yes, sir.

And they're all

in the same frequency?

I checked them

all myself.

You'll make absolutely clear

that nothing and no one

makes a move without

a direct order from me.

Yes, Mr. Thorne, I guarantee

nothing's gonna go wrong.

I'll remember you said that.

Buster, get that truck

loaded up and follow us.

We're taking

the back road.

Travis, why is it necessary

for us to go?

We don't belong up there.

He's right, Travis.

We're big city attorneys.

We're not backwoods lawyers.

I'm sorry, gentleman.

I really am.

Are you two certain

that those permits

are in order?

Well, yeah, sure.

But this is...

Then get your petty

butts on board!

We got 72 hours to cut

everything we can

and get the heck out!

So get in!

Go! Move out!

Get in.

Move out.

This is it.

Let's do it.

-Alright. You got the tapes

and the walkie?

-Yes.

Alright. Then walk to the top

of the hill and you'll be

between Thorne and his men.

-You ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

Go.

Alright, guys.

One, two,

three! Push!

Right there.

[whispering]

Guys, they're coming!

Let's go.

-You guys ready?

-[both] Yeah.

[Thorne] Alright, every out!

Look alive!

[Williams] Come on, ladies,

just move it!

Hustle! Hustle Hustle!

We gotta move this log.

Get this chunk of kindling

off the road.

And you two,

come on, out of the car.

You know what, gentleman?

I think somebody's trying

to pull my chain.

[man yelling]

[chuckles]

We got thumb tacks

in the log there, Mr. Thorne.

[shushes]

-It's the green weenies.

-Weenies?

Environmentalists.

Get it.

[Thorne] They're out there.

I know they are.

Continue,

Mr. Williams.

Do it again.

Come on, you can take care

of your boo-boo

when we get back.

Let's go! Lift it up.

Come on, girls.

Yes!

[Thorne] I know

you're out there. Huh?

You little green weenies.

Environmentalists?

Are you afraid

to show your face,

is that what it is? Huh?

Well, it's not gonna work.

I don't need

to see your face.

Because I know

you're out there.

[Williams] Put your backs

into it, girls! Come on!

[Thorne] I know your game.

Nothing new to me.

You're afraid, right?

Hiding in the woods

like the cowardly

little fairies you are.

-Mr. Thorne!

-Not now, Buster. Huh?

And I'm tired

of your nonsenses.

Now, you might try

to slow me down, dear,

but you will never stop me.

Mr. Thorne, the antennae.

You understand? Never!

Mr. Williams.

You will never stop

Travis Thorne!

And no...! Never sneak up

on me like that.

Alright, everybody,

load up!

-Mr. Thorne.

-I said now.

Right? Not tomorrow.

Not next week.

-Now!

-Yes, sure, Mr. Thorne.

[Williams] Come on, Buster.

What, am I surrounded

by morons or something?

Just get in the car!

Hey, Austene.

I finally caught

one bigger than you.

[engine cranking]

Won't start.

It's a brilliant observation,

Mr. Williams.

It's probably just

flooded out.

I'll get it.

[engines cranking]

[engines cranking]

Potato...

Two potatoes.

Mr. Thorne!

Oh, no.

Time for plan 2.

Just look what they put

into the tailpipes.

A potato!

-A potato?

-Yeah.

I got two of them.

One potato,

two potatoes.

[chuckles]

You want one?

What? Do I want one?

He wants to know

if I want a potato.

[chuckles]

Come here, man.

Near, Buster.

You are one of them,

aren't you?

You're a green weenie!

They have penetrated.

Mr. Thorne,

it's not his fault!

No, he watch for you,

Mr. Thorne.

-Hurting him won't do...

-I don't want to hurt him.

I don't wanna hurt him!

I just wanna strangle him!

-It'll make me

feel better. Alright?

-Alright.

-OK.

-[Thorne] Alright. Alright.

Alright. I'm OK.

They just wanna stop me.

I think we can go now,

Mr. Williams.

-OK.

-[engine starts]

[officer] And another

Thorne crew here.

Do any of you believe

that Thorne's gonna wait

for a twelve o'clock deadline

once he gets set up?

Thorne? No.

We gotta get

that court order.

Yes!

You gutless

environmental punks!

If there's trouble you want,

there's trouble you'll get!

That's right, trouble!

And its name is Thorne!

[kids] Pull it! Go! Go!

Travis... Whoa!

[screaming]

[grunting, screaming]

[all] "Travis Thorne!"

Hush, guys.

We gotta go!

[screaming]

Oh...

I stop. I stop...

That's good.

[grunting]

Damn you...!

[screaming]

[phone ringing]

Ramsey.

OK.

Great. You tell the judge

I say thank you.

We got him.

We got the court order.

And we got a bonus.

An arrest warrant

for Thorne and Williams.

-Great!

-Let's go.

[man 1] I'm gonna get

that truck down to warm up.

[man 2] We gotta wait

for Thorne on the radio

before we start cutting

the trees.

[man 1] I wish we could just

cut down damned trees.

[man 2] Yeah, me too.

Looks like you got

a good dose of both.

Don't touch me!

Don't ever touch me.

Get on the CB

and get me a first aid kit.

I'd like to help out,

the antennae. All of them.

[Williams] The tire's fixed.

Alright, alright. OK.

Next plan.

I wanna cut

the trees down now.

OK? Right now

Does anybody have

a problem with that?

Those environmentalists.

They sent kids to do

Well, I'm just scare

the pants off them.

Watch this.

Give me the r*fle.

[lawyer] Here.

[screams]

Don't ever point a g*n

at me like that.

Sorry.

Nobody.

Nobody is gonna stop me

from cutting down my trees!

You see this?

It's a r*fle.

It has five b*ll*ts in it,

and there's four of you.

Somebody's gonna

get shot twice.

[panting]

[growling]

Wolf...

[police siren]

Where did it go?

-Mr. Thorne! The cops!

-Where?

Take this.

-It's your g*n, Mr. Thorne.

-Take the g*n!

-It's your g*n!

-Take it!

Oh, no...

Buster!

Why is this happening

to me? Why?

-Here. Here.

-I don't want it.

I want you two

to deal with this.

Just deal with it!

Alright, drop the g*n!

You're under arrest

for ill*gal use of expl*sives.

And now for assaulting

a police officer.

Drop the g*n!

But what am I gonna do

with it? Here, you take it.

-I don't want it!

-Take it!

-Take the g*n!

-I don't want it!

Thorne is getting away!

Come on!

Go after the lawyers!

Mr. Thorne!

We don't want

a criminal case!

Take it!

Take it!

[shouting]

Take it!

[man1] Thorne's never

gonna radio us.

[man 2] Yeah,

you're probably right.

[man 1] Let's start

cutting down some trees.

What do you think?

[man 3] We sat in these trucks

all day. We gotta do something.

[chainsaw snarl echoing]

[heroic music]

[grunting]

[yelps]

[screams]

[moaning]

[man] Let's get out of here!

[panting]

I heard someone.

[chuckles]

Need a hand?

Oh, that's nice.

Bad day?

You can't imagine

what kind of day I've had.

Wait a minute.

Aren't you that hippie?

I mean, the guy that gave

my boys a whip it, right?

Hey, no hard feelings,

alright?

[nervous laugh]

Look.

I gotta get over

this mountain over here.

I'll give you ten

thousand bucks

if you help me out.

-Why?

-What you mean why?

'Cause I guys chasing me,

that's guy.

Why are they chasing you?

Because I wanted to cut down

a few trees, OK?

Well, you almost

burn them down

when you were a kid...

Travis Thorne.

How did you know that?

I never told nobody that.

I know.

[chuckles]

It's true.

When I was a little tiny guy

I built this fire,

one as big as I could.

I mean, big fire.

And then it started spreading.

I didn't know what to do,

so I just took off,

running for home.

[laughs]

You know, to this day,

I never figured out

how I never burned down

this whole mountain.

I saved the forest

from your carelessness.

Now I'll save it

from your greed.

You k*ll me,

you know that?

[chuckles]

You just k*ll me.

[chuckles]

Whoa!

You believed in the magic

of the mountain

when you were a kid.

That's... That's because

I was a kid.

I'm a grown up now, OK?

You wanna know the...

-[bone cracks]

-Oh...

...only magic I believe in?

It's the magic

of the almighty dollar.

How very sad.

Well, sad this!

[grunts]

[moaning]

[sighs]

Yes, very sad.

That the only dreams

you believe in

are the ones

that you can buy.

That's the only kind

there are.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Well, there's nothing

I can do to change your mind.

[deep voice]

But maybe I can.

[growling]

Oh...!

Wow...!

[muffled laugh]

Oh...

-[roaring]

-[screaming]

Help!

[screaming, grunting]

Hi. I just had a vision.

I feel reborn.

You know, I love everything.

I love the forest, the trees,

the eagles, the bears,

especially the bears.

I love bears.

I know I'm gonna have

to spend some time,

but it really doesn't matter.

[giggles]

I'm so happy I could sing.

I love this land!

From the rainwood forest

I feel love just

flowing through me.

Hi. I've been reborn.

You never seen a bear

that talks, did you? Ever?

[chuckles]

I don't know,

I love these trees.

Don't put me

in the cell with the rest.

They're crazy. Please!

[chattering overlapping]

-[Madison] You saw a wolf?

-[guys] Yes! Yes!

I'd like you to wear

this again, Arlen.

If you feel

you're ready for it.

[Madison] Yeah, alright.

I'd like that, Blaine.

[Madison] Tell me what?

Tell me what?

Thanks.

It looks good

on you, Daddy.

-I love you.

-I love you, too.

Come to me.

[huffing]

[chattering overlapping]

Stretch your hands

right up.

[Madison] Down!

Easy.

-No, I can't...

-[Logan] Get in here.

-You know, it's kinda cool.

-Yeah!

[Lewis] Hey,

how's it going?

-[kids laughing]

-[Barney] No, boys!

[whining]

[man] Come on, Brian!

[cheering]

He did find her!

He did find his wife!
